Do you have any pictures? It would help to identify. With this description it could be anything.

yea, more specific? if its detritis on the bottom or rocks you can syphon it out with an air tube or gravel vac if youre careful.

If food is collecting on the bottom than you are over feeding. You should have a mixed cleanup crew of crabs, snails, ect. to take care of the uneaten food. You also want a Good protein skimmer to have a long term successful reef tank. You may also need to up the flow in the tank (more or stronger power heads) to keep the Detritus in suspension until the skimmer can get it out... Tell us more about your tank though so we can better help ie. skimmer, flow, feeding schedule, fish, clean up crew ect...
