My wet/dry filter was not disturbed. I kept it alive during the trasfer from one tank to another.

Well it sounds like you experieced some sort of slight re-cycling.
Nitrite WILL come down on its own, but you can decrease this time by dosing, either Alchol or sugar (Which will cause a Positive bacterial bloom, greately accelerating the cycle time to get all the existing bacteria in the tank back on line and in higher numbers so to speak).
and
b) Bloom..

Is it Bryopsis ??? That is the only stuff Ive seen that grows that fast, and is kind of an oddity. Once it gets in the tanks...WATCHOUT!! (Pic id below)
any other ideas guys?
