Dinos. Go away with time once everything is nice and equilibrated.
 
This is cyano and diatoms
Cyano is matted and Dinos are golden brown often stringy and looks like snot with bubbles
Reduction or turning off white lights for a few days will alleviate this.
Siphon up well before lights off and verify your phosphate and nitrate readings which are contributors
