Default Bright Flourescent Yellow Slime

I have been getting a bright yellow slime on my sand bed and, in places, on my rocks! What is it and how do I get rid of it!

It looks more green in the pictures that it does to the naked eye.

Could be, but I use RO water only!

I think im going to treat it as if it is cyano and see what happens.
