Help ID this algae

What kind of algae is this? It looks like slime algae, but it is black and parts of it have a leathery base. 100 gallon tank, stable parms. I feed it about once every two weeks or so. 2x250W MH.

Q1: What kind of algae is this?
Q2: Is there anything that will eat it? I siphon as much as I can during water changes.

Thanks,

Chris

When I say "feed it" I'm refering to the tank, not the algae!

Thanks again,

Chris

Frogspawn on the left. Not sure about right, I'll find out. This is a friend's tank.
