    Is this harmful? If so what should I do if not should I just leave it. I was just wanting everyones opinion on the matter.

    Looks like a hair algae. It is not a problem in a fish only tank. If you don't like it get a few turbo snails or urchins. Remove as much as you can manually or at least sort of mow it down so they will more readily go after the algae.
