Can someone Identify this Algae?

There is a weird algae growing in my tank. There's a fair amount of green, and hair, but then there is this (pictured below) and it is only growing on the Crypt Luscens. Not on the rocks, decor, walls, or other plans which are Anubius, Lotus Lilly, and Val.

I've never seen this before and it's very specifically in this spot, covering all 4 of the Luscens and no where else.

PS my tank is slightly cloudy, but it's mostly the 6 year old phone camera getting rough.

In my indoor tanks I have used hydrogen peroxide in a syringe with needle. The have them tractor supply depending how. I gently put it on the algae but try to keep the plant untouched or the best as you can. From what I have observed is once that after that a few snails, ramshorn or mystery snail work well. You can find then pretty inexpensive and some sellers will drop the price.
