Can you take a pic under white light?
I see either cyano or presence of bubbles indicating dino. Hard to tell with blue light

Yes- closer picture suggests dino.
Prepare for a water change and blow this stuff loose with a turkey baster and siphon up loose particles.
Turn lights off for 5 days and st night dose 1ml of hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons for all 5 nights
During the day dose 1ml of liquid bacteria per 10 gallons.
Clean filters daily and DO NOT FEED CORAL FOODS OR ADD NOPOX as it is food for dinos.
Day 5,, you can start with blue lights and work your white lights up slowly

Thanks for identification and help! I was worried about this and looks like I'm in for a battle based on what I've heard of Dino.
