If the tanks new, and you got the rock second hand sometimes it has a pretty bad build up of crud in it.
Mind you I could be 100% wrong and it could be something else. But to me it looks similar to what I had before I started getting green hair algae problems in my tank. Hopefully others will chime in with opinions

It's an established tank that has been running for over 2 years. A bit of a crash recently but all corals survived. Redecorated the landscape and cleaned up most of the detritus. Phosphate level close or at 0. Didn't have much of a hair algae in the past. Just annoying because I have seen other gorgeous aquariums without these little buggers.

I toothbrush them away but they do grow back. Flourish in lower light / under my overhangs. They also trap detritus really well and look shaggier over time.
If my stuff is not like yours excuse the random post lol.

Not at all. All comments appreciated.
In fact, it is exactly as you described. I would use a toothbrush or a turkey baster to blow it off and it would reappear. I do wonder if it is dead hair algae as well.
