Looks like a low presence of Dino. Reduce or turn off white light for at least 3 days, continue to clean filters/socks daily during this time and add 1ml of peroxide per 10 gallons at night. Would also help to dose 1ml per 10 gals of liquid bacteria during the day. DO NOT FEED CORALS OR APPLY NOPOX DURING THIS TIME WITH IS FUEL FOR DINO.
Blow the stuff loose each day also with a turkey baster. THESE STEPS SHOULD STOP THE PROCESS BEFORE IT ACCELARATES INTO FULL BLOW DINO

I’ve had Dino’s on two tanks. Just got rid of them on a tank I just setup last week. Both tanks had/have coral. I quit any phosphate removers and turned lights off for three days. I also added Prodibio for bacteria after lights were off. On my previous tank I purchased a smaller danner mag drive pump, maybe 5-600 gph. This pump provided good pressure and smaller tubing size than most. I connected clear vinyl tubing and the rigid clear plastic tubing found at plastic supply stores to the pump. Put the pump in the sump and power wash your your rock, sand and coral. I do this before I turn the lights off. Turn lights off and wait until water clears then change the socks. After three days turn lights on, if Dino’s start appearing blast them again, change socks, lights off. On my new tank I added a port with quick disconnect in my return. It works for the pressure washer attachment and a diy tool to drip acclimate. I just did this on my new tank that every inch of rock, sand, pumps and corals were covered. I did three days no lights, two on, three off. It’s been five days and no sign.

I don’t think I would run GFO yet. You want other things besides Dino’s to take hold. Dino’s thrive when others can’t. I would only worry if phosphates are higher than nitrates. My neighbor has a nice tank, he had never checked phosphates so I brought over my Hanna checker. It maxed out the meter (blinking 200) which is around .6. He’s not changing a thing.
