That's bryothamnion sp., prob dying off or growing other microalgaes. I have a hard time growing it, but I think it wants super low light and turbulent flow.

In the past I've had great luck with 5500k fuge lights and typical ~14000k blue/whites in the display, but my most recent big tank with only 5000k lights has had a lot of issues, specifically with the red macros. I just recently switched back to the usual white/blues to see if that helps, might be your issue too along with the 24 hour lights.
