Dino ID

[Kainic]

Hi. Can you please help me identifying my dino sp?

I did mix vigorously my sample before taking these pictures. I coundn't see any movement, no rotation, no displacement.
Macroscopically they are forming very long strings on the rocks. Mostly brown but with a red tint. When lights are off they seem to decrease (but still very present) and repopulate slowly with lights on.

TIA

Sergi

Amphidium
Lower or turn off lights for 5-7 days and siphon surfaces well
Add 1.5ml of liquid bacteria per 10 gallons each day and 1.5ml of hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons each night and clean filters daily
Do not add coral foods or NoPox at this time

Agree with amphidinium. If you have corals I would strongly advise against a blackout. It most often provides only temporary/cosmetic improvement. I would also consider dosing silicates to elicit a competing diatom bloom. You have some diatoms already on your slides as well as some cyano. Those are both good competition for dinos.
