Its the gas that produced from the bacteria. I believe that is going to fall into the cyanobacteria group anyway. Ill get @twilliard to help you out.

For now blow/clean it off. If you clean too much of it at once it can effect the oxygen levels. That liltle piece in the back is fine to clean up.

It could be a sign your No3/Po4 parameters are not balanced correctly.

That is the start of cyanobacteria.
Try your best not to blow it around but more siphon it out. This stuff will spread.
Also might want to consider H2O2 dosing for the algae.

There are many reef cleaners on the market. Chemi-clean is one you can use to get rid of it

Oh wow I didnt realize its worse to blow it around. I try to suck most it out, then blow it around, then do a water change. Using chemiclean.
