Anyone know what this is?

I'm seeing a couple things. Are you able to take a photo of it? It's hard to really get a good look at it in the video as it's only 6 seconds long.

I'm talking about the wavy brown stuff

Wavy brown stuff looks like hair algae with gas bubbles trying to escape.
I would place rock in a container of tank water and pull off as much as you can by hand and scrub the rest with a firm toothbrush and some 3% hydrogen peroxide.
Return rock to tank, reduce white light intensity and number of hours of white lighting for a few days and add some snails such as :
Astrea
cerith
turbo grazer
trochus

A Pencil urchin

8-10 Caribbean blue leg hermits

Are you using RODI water or tap water from the faucet ?
What is your phosphate level?
Is tank at or near a window?

 

[joefishtank]

I have 1 astrea snail. RO water and yes window. phosphate probably not that high since this is like 3 weeks of growth
