You are going to need 100% white light no blue ..... Need better photo.
From this it looks like cyano or diatoms. But really need details on tank history, equipment and a better pic.
This orum is awesome, the more info the better we can try to help.

10 month old 75 gallon tank w/20 gallon sump/fuge. Parameters have been stable for 3 months or so, very little algae blooms until I switched lights. Here are some photos under cool white only.
Thanks, "just switched lights" from what to what ?
Perimeters stable ?
What are they, how often do you test, what all do you test, what test brand test kits do you use?
Fish load ?
Coral load?
What is your long term goal. LPS, Softies, LPS.... Fish only ?
What all filtration are you running?
What is your maintenance schedule?
How many gallons ?
