It's something spawning in the tank. Could be snails, could be bristleworms. It's harmless.

The same thing happens in my tank. It's usually spaghetti worms or rock crabs throwing silt out of the rocks.

stop rubbing your rocks.

snails, worms, etc.. like said above, something is spawning in the tank. its a good sign.
