Search for Pink Slim & White Water Mold.
I believe it not an algae, but bacterial?

Hi Oren,
Thanks for pitching in on the "cooties".
I thought it was strange to be a white color since I thought algae were
photosynthetic.

Googling for pink slime, I had to add "pond water" because it came up with
foodstuffs first, this backs up your inference that it's a bacterium:

etc.

At the moment, I'm tentatively calling it "Red Slime Cyanobacteria", but
the google images search isn't conclusive yet:
