And what can keep it in control? Is it beneficial orva nuisance?

Looks like green hair algae! Are you using tap water?

[wardragonet]

Yes, I used tap to start them up, was gonna change to distilled cause my nitrate as high like 80ppm

I'm guessing this is a new tank. Turn the lights off, get an RO/DI unit or at least use RO/DI water, do some regular water changes and you'll be fine. No point putting livestock in, that just addresses the symptoms, the disease is nitrates and likely phosphates.
