Answer
Hi Soumya,

It does look like you're getting some algae growth.  Short term it is of no harm, but if you get a heavy build-up it can be a problem. The algae isn't toxic, but it can smother seedlings.

Here's some things you can do.  First make sure you're using mineral-free water.  This would be either rainwater or distilled water.  Top-water your plants frequently.  If you're only tray watering this provides a good environment for algae to grow.  Top-watering helps to wash away algal spores.  Scrape some of it off.  If things get too bad it will be time to transplant your plants.  

Good Growing!
