I think you kind of forgot to include some pics... Also, when responding, include your water testing parameters, age of tank, etc...

I am sorry, I didn't realize. my nitrates are 1 ppm and no phosphates.

Those are Prorocentrum dinos. Part of the problem is more than likely those low nutrients which didn't allow other biodiversity options to thrive and allowed dinos to take over. Definitely focus on increasing the nitrates to around 5-10ppm and phosphates to around 0.06-0.12ppm. But, raise them kind of slowly or you will get a nice cyano bloom as well.

Agree with @Idoc, prorocentrum. These are the second most toxic of dinos. I would be a good idea to run GAC, especially if your coral are looking stressed or you are unexpectedly loosing CUC. Consider dosing phyto and pods as well.
