    It's a Liverwort Caveman I'm not sure which one I'll have a poke around and see in a minute it's quite harmless and a useful moisture retainer for pot plants :snork: however if you don't like it then you can remove it by gently scraping it from the surface of the soil, they only really become a pest in large greenhouses
