So I started to see bubble like snot over my top rock structure where the SPS are placed. Rest of the rocks and sand are clean of this.

I used microscope to get some pics.
Anyone can identify?

They don't tend to dissapeare into water column when lights go off.

I found 2 tyres of organisms under the microscope. 1 is cricled as red and other is yellow. Both were moving - yellow one slower and around itself, and red one faster around the area.

Looks like mostly diatoms. The fast moving critters can be ignored for now.
