I believe the reason it appears to be growing under the substrate is because I moved my live rock around a good amount and the substrate got overturned but If it isn't algae idk what it could be here's a couple more pics

that could be cyano. you can try increasing flow in that area, make sure your not over feeding and some extra water changes. hermits may or may not help. is this a newer tank and are you running a refugium?

Agreed with chichas increasing the flow in that area would help but to clean up an Emerald Crab would get through that in no time!
