Such thing as Yellow Algae?

[cam78]

In my tank I have been battling yellow colored algae. Does not look like hair algae, it is more of a slime look. I don't know what my parameters are but will find out soon. I lost my test kit in the addition and can't test the water right now. I have been doing water changes though. Any ideas? I have a skimmer too.

give water params asap. I never herd of yellow alge but I am new to this. I have yellow stuff in my tank but I thinks its a sponge type stuff. Do you have a pic in case what you have I have to. And I can fallow this closely.

Def NOT sponges. Its growing on the rocks and substrate

All I can say is it don't sound good

20+ yrs and never saw yellow algae

OK what if I described it as slime? Its more of a slime look. Either way I know its not good. What would be causing it though?
