it sounds like cyano algae. the best cause of action is obviously find out what caused it in the 1st place. if thats not possible, then u can try getting a few conch to keep ur cc moving and aerated 1st. turbo snails in my experience will eat cyano algae. also, try getting a lawnmower blenny bc it sound like its the start of an algae outbreak.

Good sand sifting goby as well, IF APPLICABLE ONLY.. Cut down on your phosphate roots and better water flow... A diamond goby or Golden head will have you fixed up in a jiffy...
