HALP! One of my babies is sick!

What is this EVIL stuff?  :(
 
 
Long Thin Cayenne seedling.

Kind of hard to see sir.  Does it rub off? What kind of soil are you using? What kind of watering schedule? Do you have a fan?
 
Rubbing with a wet q-tip did nothing.
The dark area is expanding, so it's likely something growing on/in the plant.
No fan, the plants are in an open box with CFLs a few inches above.
  
I've backed off on the water as the plants become established.  I now let the surface get fairly dry before watering.  Possible over-watering earlier, and definite high humidity.
