I noticed this stuff growing on my peat. Is it algae or moss? Should I be worried?

Hard to say, does it look "leafy" or "slimey"? If the former probably moss, if not then algae. It's not a huge deal so long as it doesn't overgrow your seedlings. Might just need to wash your media better, but honestly both will find their way into anything they can.

It doesn't look slimy at all. It just looks sort of grainy, like it's individual bits of green. Kind of like moss just starting out. I'm just going to keep an eye on it for now.
