"Not algae, what is happening is due to not flushing your brake fluid every three year per Honda's recommendations, see owner's manual. The inside of the brake lines are copper coated. When moisture accumulates in the brake fluid it corroded the inside of the brake lines and what you see is the copper oxides accumulation inside the reservoir. These oxides also accumulate inside the ABS module which can cause the valves to stick.
Flush your brake system!"
My response:
"Thanks for the explanation. Mine is a '16 so there is no "every 3 year recommendation" in my manual. And neither Honda dealer nor Firestone - both of which have been doing upkeep on the car for the past 4 years and 40,000 have recommended a flush or said anything other than that the fluid is good upon visual inspection. But since B1 just popped up, I was checking myself and discovered this, which is why I said initially that it is time for a flush."
