Then you just post your photo, and ask what it is...
Looks like diatoms getting out of control to me...I'd up the flow to that area, but I would scoop it out with some of the substrate(trying not to stir it up and blow it around) and rinse it really well, and return the substrate back.

that looks a bit like dying cyano to me. That stuff will go away in time with less feeding with good quality foods, more flow, time, things that eat it.. many factors contribute
