Don't panic, try to remove it by dragging a plastic fork through it and twirling like spaghetti. Pick it off your sps, should come easily. It's like cycling a tank in reverse, you get waves of various nuisances. Let your P rise slightly too and it will turn to green algae.
Wouldn't dose chemi clean unless it's bad enough that your corals are affected. Red slime remover sounds like it's enzymes and probably an oxidant like peroxide. Again I wouldn't dose unless your animals are being affected.
