Diatoms??
I've been searching but none of the pics I find look like what's in my tank. It does blow off the rocks very easily. I'm pretty sure it's a diatom bloom, as the tank is only 4 months old.
Can anyone verify this for me??

Just never seen it build up so much on a powerhead before.

i've never seen detritus collect on a power head... so it happened just because the power head was off for a few days?
