Dino(?) and why?

[Zhugelaocunfu]

I have set up my first reef tank on May,although fish and corals are ok,an unknown orange algae CONQUERED my tank.

From shape and texture they looks like dino,but they are orange,look at this imgur photo,the orange part is the algae I mentioned.

And the water test I have just done shows NH3,nitrate,nitrite and pho are all zero.

Will they grow rapidly under light?I can feel that the light intensity in my tank is higher than what I saw in shops.

Edit:looking at other posts,confirmed they are dino

Very hard to tell with heavy blue lighting but may very well be
Many aquarists strive to keep their tank clean but there is such a thing as too clean when the nitrate and phosphate levels bottom out to zero and remain as such and being a flagellate which feeds off light- a nightmare is born

if it indeed is (please post pics under white lights)……
Prepare by starting with a water change and blow this stuff loose with a turkey baster and siphon up loose particles. Turn lights off (at least white and run blue at 10-15% IF you have light dependant corals) for 5 days and at night dose 1ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons for all 5 nights. If you dont have light dependent coral- turn all lights off. During the day dose 1ml of liquid bacteria (such as micro bacter7 or XLM) per 10 gallons. Clean filters daily and DO NOT FEED CORAL FOODS OR ADD NOPOX

since here is currently 2:00am in my region I have to wait till morning to give photos in white light,just wanted to ask: does starburst poylp considered light dependent?（there are starburst polyp,bulb anemone and Acan in my tank）.

Theyre not photosynthetic but can be invasive

Cyano and dino look very similar in certain instances. I suggest id with a microscope to be certain.

I have searched a few stores today,and I can only find 6% H2O2,can I just dilute it to 3% with RO water and use the diluted peroxide?
