Question Fairly new to hobby, strange jelly like i need help.

hey, my brother, father, and I are all baffled. We have recently got our first saltwater tank not even a month ago, and we just got some snails and two hermit crabs last week. I'm going to be honest i over fed them but i didn't know at first and now all the food left over had this ( look at picture ) and i have no idea what it is, the food seems to now be like, gel. I plan on getting cleaner shrimp for my tank (20 gallon tank) will it eat the left over food to prevent this? please help, thanks!

Looks like a fungus. Removing leftovers, or the cleanup crew will prevent it.
