It is harmless blue/green film algae, the tank appears new. This particular algae bloom is common in newly established tanks. As long as nitrates and phosphates are well controlled the algae will slowly die off.

what are you doing for filtering?
Looks like typical algae of the new tank system, get some snails and they should clean it up in no time. Those turbo snails do a quick job but then starve because there is nothing left for them to eat, I would recommend one of those and get a few astrea snails. Maybe an algae blenny as well they love cleaning on rocks.
