Is this staghorn or thread algae?

Or something else. Its just starting to appear on one of my plants and I would like to stop it before it takes off. Its in a 55 gallon with co2, 1bps and a single t5ho.

Looks like staghorn.

+1 on staghorn. it doesn't look like thread. i'd up your co2 levels. in a 55g, your ppm is probably not going to be near the ideal with that rate.
