Looks like some type of algae to me. Looks kinda nasty and aggressive... I wouldn't consider it "nothing to worry about", especially if it's all over your tank.
 
I'm not exactly sure what it is, but it looks invasive and I recommend removing it before it gets any worse.
 
I'd try to pinch that stuff off at the base where it connects to the rocks. It looks like hair algae gone grey
