Betta eats diatoms

I scrub it off and he eats it doesn't even spit it out I don't think that's normal..

Eating algae is not going to hurt him. I am unsure if you are actually dealing with diatoms, though, as diatoms turn into a cloudy mess when scrubbed off, and not a solid object a fish could eat.

its brown and it clumps together when I scrub it off and he goes after the clumped up pieces it likes to grow on the glass and the coconut cave

That's normal.

My Cories eat the green algae I scrape off the glass. I suppose they like it when it's in a convenient form.
