Can someone identify this algae for me?

If someone can identify this algae, I would really appreciate it. Requirements for making it flourish would be a bonus. Thank you.

looks like Scinaia complanata

not sure on care though. I had some a while back seemed to like moderate light, lower flow. Make sure it stays under water or those spots ethat were exposed to air for extended time seemed to die off

Do you know where it came from? This may help in IDing it. Unfortunately when you get something from a pet store no one ever knows where it came from
