Looks like dead hair algae. Blowing it with a turkey baster should dislodge some and then siphon. Finish with cleaner crew such as
Astrea
cerith
turbo grazer
trochus

A Pencil urchin

8-10 Caribbean blue leg hermits

Are you using RODI water or tap water from the faucet ?
What is your phosphate level?
Is tank at or near a window?
