Hard to tell. Could be just be new tank uglies. Do you have a microscope. That’s a great way to id things

Diatoms. That’s what happens in a new tank. It goes away.

Prob not Dino but diatoms

 

[Neto]

diatoms, it will go away.. a green algae will follow

 

[reeferfoxx]

Definitely diatoms. Great food source for microbial organisms, pods, and snails. Don't disrupt it, you'll be thankful in the long run

Looks like diatoms! They will go away on their own with time. Be patient.
