[APD] Plant ID

["John T. Fitch" <JTFitch at FitchFamily_com>]

I have a plant, sold by an LFS as an Anubias, which has been growing very slowly in my tank over the past five years.  A few of the leaves have developed a darker green, velvety coating in places.  Here's a picture of the plant:

I would appreciate a better identification of the plant and, if possible, the coating.  If the coating is an algae, should it be scraped off, or would it be better to cut the leaf off completely.  I'm reluctant to prune too many leaves, because it takes so long to grow new ones!

Thanks in advance.
