Failing to ID algae and dinos

[ReefHunter006]

Hi all,

Ive been trying for a couple weeks now to ID my dinos.
This is the best picture wise I have been able to capture but it looks nothing like the dinos ID shots in the major threads.

Maybe one of you recognize it.

I took this from the sample on the back wall of my refugium (brown wall) in the below picture.

Not sure but there is a solid Dino thread on here that should be able to help. It helped me kick them. I increased PO4 and NO3 (they were too low) ran UV to/from the display and filtered as many out as I could through sucking them through a hose leading to a filter sock and then returning that water to my tank THROUGH the UV. Took a few weeks but they died. I’ll see if I can find the thread for you.

Tell us more. Where is it in the tank? Does it leave at night. Tell us about light, parameters, size and age of tank
