It looks like green slime, and can be stringgy. People hate it because it looks terrible and sufficates your corals.

Best way I foud for getting rid of it was getting a bigger skimmer and over skim, along with sucking it out of the tank with a siphon.

Oh geez. That stuff is all over my tank! It doesnt seem to go away no matter how much I skim or take out! Well at least I only have only one coral(devils Hand). I think I will leave it for now. Its FOWLR for me. Thanks for the picture Invigor.

So does it eventually go away? How does it develop or get into a tank system?
