Getting this strange type of algae growing in my tank and every morning it seems to have moved somewhere else ? Can anyone identify or atleast tell me if it's good or bad ? :)

Any chance you could get microscope pics of it?

If not, there's a good chance this a colony of unidentified bristleworms - harmless/good.

Ive seen this more than once and if I recall, these are flagellates, Not Dino which branch themselves but spread easily. This is often confused with Lyngbya but is not.
