Euphyllia sensitive to blackout?

[Reeflix]

Hi! I have a dino problem so wanted to do a blackout. They seem pretty light sensitive and go away right when the lights are dimming. Anyways I have some euphyllia that I really like and are they sensitive to this? I also have a chalice, some mushrooms, 2 leathers, zoas, alvepora, gonipora, and a Duncan,
Thank you!
Edit: the euphyllia are 2 torches, 2 hammers and one frogspawn

Everything will be fine for a few days.

The only euphyllia in that list are the torches. Hammers and frogs are fimbriaphyllia

I would strongly reccomend not doing a blackout. They do nothing for Dino’s, yes they get rid of them for a bit but their still there waiting to come back you just don’t see them. Best way to get rid of them is get a microscope and put them under that to identify which species it is then take action. Depending on species there are different ways to eradicate but none are blackouts

I agree

Dino’s are usually caused by inbalanced nitrate and phos, by chance are your phosphate extremely low? Or maybe your nitrates are extremely low? Dinos thrive in low nitrate/phosphate environments. Instead of a blackout try raising nutrients. This will get rid of the problem over a few weeks. It worked for me

i did get a microscope, got one ID and they said it was something crypto and it wasnt toxic, the one i have definitely is, i have gotten a UV sterilizer which seems to have helped, also dosing mircobacter 7 and H202 for a little bit now. my nitrate and phos were at 0 zero about a month ago, i feel that this is weird, but the second i started raising my nitrate and phos they started to show up.

i am no scientist, and they all looks the same to me under the microscope, but they were def dinos and are toxic.

There are people on here that will ID it for you. I don’t know what the different strains look like but many people who are willing to help do

i did get an id but i dont really think that it was correct, but it could of been, and i have multiple strains
