Two things cause this:
Worms- which I doubt and would be visible , but still check

Propragating which I believe is the case. At some point, they literally tear themselves piece by piece and emit little frags of themselves for reproduction. Almost looks like someone took a scissors to it.
Provide medium flow and moderate light to it while it does its thing. Generally this lasts up to 2 weeks
