Looks like coralline algae to me, which if true, is a good sign of a maturing tank. If a regular glass magnet cleaner isn’t enough to remove it (mine are plastic and don’t remove coralline) you can use a credit card or razor blade scraper.

Oh that's good glad it seems to be nothing bad! Thank you.
