Sounds like salt creep: occurs when the water in a saltwater aquarium splashes out of the tank, gets things wet, and after the fresh portion of the water evaporates, leaves behind salt crystals.
Just wipe it off when you do tank maintenance. Don't dump it back into the tank or on corals as you can burn them.

ok but if i can i guess this is a bad question to ask so dont judge me but is there a chance fish would eat resin because some escaped my filter and into the tank (its deionized resin to get rid of copper cupimie) and if a fish did eat a pellet would he just die or would he be ok
I always push the excess salt back in my tank, figured why waste the salt. Never seen it burn my corals though.
If you have a chunk land directly on a coral it can burn them.
