Impossible to tell in that pic. Less blue needed for ID. Could be cyano, dynos or diatoms .

Thanks

It seems to be just in that spot. I have seen that low flow can cause it ?

Does it feel like snot?
Hairy and have bubbles?
Is it closer to brown color or actually red?
Does it come back worst after water changes?
Does it grow in High flow areas?
