I took a sample of your picture and the results are alarming.......
I see green algae with oxygen bubbles as result from Photosynthesis

Alarming ? I agree ! I have seen every algae known to exist pass thru this tank ! LOL
does it does not look resemble dino's to you ? I wouldn't be surprised at this point. Current nutrient as of just now.

looks like green slime, but it's probably a hodgepodge...do you have a history on your nitrate and phosphate levels?

Anything new about the tank that preceeded this stuff showing up?

My apologies for not checking in . I did a big scrubbing & blasting . This stuff came right off & it is spreading. I got it all cleaned off though .I pulled a good amount of HA also. Bubble seems to be fading away :)
current I have had a history of low nutrients in this tank .
Numbers as of last night

No3 0
Po4 0.34 was too high 0.123 allowing it to come down now.
Alk 8.o
Been working on keeping nutrient levels as stable as possible. It seems I over dose or under I'll get it .
Also getting more snails today.
