Hi,

It is a little hard to say exactly what it is. I hate saying Dino without more to go on. Can you post you current water levels and some info on the tank and your lighting. I think I see some bubbles so I am not thinking diatoms, but maybe some cyano?

Can you get a few more pics under white light also? Thanks.

Dinos. Increase water flow, shut iff white lights for starters. Use a turkey baster and blow the dino loise and net or siphon loose matter. During day add 1ml of liquid bacteria per 10 gallons and at night 1ml of hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons for 5 days. Should be gone.
Do not add NoPox or feed coral during this time as it will feed dino also

What are your nutrient levels? Specifically nitrate and phosphate...fyi zero is not a good answer....
