Yep, its called black hair algae or black beard algae, if it looks like little hairs. Its one of the tougher ones, but luckily there are a few fish that will eat it right up (unlike the similar green thread stuff). Otos, Siamese Algae Eaters (NOT Chinese), I think mollies and rosy barbs also love this type of algae. Amano or other algae eating shrimp are a good option too if you don't want to add more fish, they can be hard to find though.
