It could be diatoms ...or it could be dinoflagetes..my advice take a sample too lfs with a microscope and get a positive ID ...unless you have one yourself ..then you can take a photo with your phone through the eyepiece and post here for an ID

Has anything else in your tank changed? Did the algae show up all of the sudden?
