Hard to tell, could be algae/sponge or their detritus.

Important thing: does it move around? If it's crawling, could be nudibranch cerata.

If not, you can probably just wipe it off and be good.

Seems to be attached to the plug and sways in the flow. Doesn’t retract or react when touched. So probably algae/sponge then. Thank you!
