Can anyone ID this algae for me? I have had dinos before but there are no bubbles in this stuff. I just used chemiclean to get rid of cyano is this it returning? Mostly exists in low flow areas under the powerhead or behind rocks.
Perams:
NO3: 5ppm
PO4: 0-0.1ppm (I need a better test kit)
dkH: 10.4
Ca: 440 ppm

I recommend Hannah for phosphates. Sort of looks like dinos though. Grab a sample in a cup of tank water and stir it until it breaks up. Wait 15 minutes and if it reclumps, then it is dinos.
 
Its dino. Blow off with turkey baster and force to overflow ir entrap with net.
Start another 4 day blackout or if coral present, no whites and 5-10% blue.
Dose 10ml of hydrogen peroxide per 10g at night and also add liquid bacteria nightly.
After blackout, siphon up and continue peroxide nightly for 6 weeks at .5ml per 10gals

Thank you everyone for the replies, I have battled these before unfortunately so I will begin the regimen. The tank is on a blackout currently and the UV sterilizer is running full force. Mircobacter 7 + H2O2 dosing hopefully this all should destroy the satan spawn...
