Just notice long red strands of algae on some coral and on the back of the glass. I cleaned most of it away but fearing it will come back. Here’s an acan with a strand on the left side if you look closely you’ll see. Thanks in advance!

Could be wiry algae but hard to tell as picture is extremely blue
 
I think they’re dinos, under a microscope they’re spinning in circles looks like ostreopsis
