Yeah are you sure it is not just on the front glass ? If it is in the water it may be WAY too much light in that tank, or very close to a window.

algae bloom.... excess nutrients... phosphates in the tank probably. Water change.... diatom filter for 8 hours......and a refugium with macro algaes would probably fix, then solve your problem. If you cannot set up a refugium be frugal with feeding and do regular water changes and that shold solve the problem.
Good luck,
