Could you get pictures under white light? Could be algae, could be a bacterial bloom.

Its called chrysophytes. It is a bacteria that thrives when there is low flow in the system. You will have to remove rock and place in a tub or similar of tank water and scrub with a firm toothbrush or auto detail brush and 3% peroxide. Afterwards, return rock to tank and increase flow Slightly and add some cleaners to control it such as :
Chiton snails
ninja star snails
Pitho ctabs
Carribean blue leg hermits
