Looks like you have a 14k bulb on your metal halide? How old is the bulb anyways? Usually when the bulb gets old its color spectrum changes and can cause a algae bloom. Also check your phos level.

Xenia found a home.

Need a close up of the pest in question. Everyone has a preference in color I like it more blue. You look like you are at 8-10k with that lighting. Pictures don't always show true colors so it's hard to say.
