Dinoflagellate ID - Forward Burst Movement

[logangeraghty]

I'm looking for some help identifying this type of dino so that I can begin planning an attack strategy. The mucus produced is very heavy and is creating algae like brownish green mats across frag racks and sides of the tank. There is also some present on the sandbed. Corals and marco rocks are unaffected.

Looks like Ostreopsis to me. I beat them but jumping to the chase - UV. Tons of info of course on here. My vids of them are here.

Thanks for the confirmation. I was thinking the same thing though this is my first time trying to ID them... I threw on an underpowered UV for the time being until I can get a larger one ordered. I'll read up on the post you linked... Looks like you have quite a bit of good information there!
