it is probably a bacteria bloom so everything should be okay.
Make sure you are aerating the water somehow so the oxygen isn't depleted from the water from the bloom. If it seems to be super tiny particles, run some carbon and floss or polyfilter.

If it looks like someone poured milk in your tank, its bacterial bloom. It will clear up in few days to few days to few weeks.

If you have any sand sifters, it COULD be them digging around... I get that sometimes from my pistol. . .

it could be something sexual -;) - like macro alage?

or a leather coral. . . Chap's huge toadstool would throw sperm all over the tank at night. . .

Did you recently add calcium?
