Probably cyno. Caused by over feeding, lack of flow, poor water quality, tap water, etc

Cyano bacteria.
Usually the main reason for Cyano is overfeeding and old lights. I personally feed once every other day in a controlled amount. What kind of lights do you have and how old are they? If PCs get old, the light spectrum changes and promotes a lot of unwanted algae growth.

Feed as much as they will eat in 2 minutes, once daily.
What do you have for filtration? What are your nitrates and phosphates? Do you use RO/DI water? What do you have for circulation? How big is the tank? How old?
