I may be wrong but that looks like blue-green algae or Cyanobacteria.

I agree with mitch, that is cyanobacteria, does it sluff off in sheets if you try to take it off? It looks more like a blanket then attached to the rock. Increase flow and water changes but also maybe use erythromycin if you become desperate

Yes it does come off in sheets

Good Evening Johannes,

I had this same issue not that long ago in my tank. I bought some plants from a LFS (Local Fish Store) and they were contaminated with very small amounts of Cyanobacteria. I used a product called Blue-Green Slime Stain Remover which I bought through Amazon. It work great. Within 24 hours of me adding it into the tank all the Cyanobacteria was DEAD. 
 

The only thing the product does strongly recommend is to increase your oxygen concentration within your water column while using this product.

I would strongly recommend the product. Does not affect your pH or your fish for that matter. It is also gentle on the other plants. But not to the Cyanobacteria. It eradicates it completely.

 

Respectfully,

Vader72.

Are your Nitrates 0ppm or very low?
