Is this Dino's?

Trying to find out if this is indeed Dino's

Looks to be.

Osteosomething or other. lol forget the exact name now. Easy one to clean up though.

Get some nutrients in the water to out compete it, and get a UV running.

Looks like them to me.
Hydrogen Peroxide at 3% with 1ml per 10g after lights out, 6 nights along with bottle bacteria at same rate in the morning just before lights on.
Dino-X works about the same.
Check to ensure either nutrient has bottomed out.
UV them.

Whats a good UV? Weird ? how do I add nutrients?

homer1475 · Dec 18, 2021

Before you add nutrients, have you checked them with a reputable test kit(not API)?

Easily though, brightwells neonitro, and neophos.

I will check; I do have Salifert and also Red Sea I think

tmccaff · Dec 18, 2021

According to Red Sea NO3 it's at 4ppm

That’s good, what phosphate?
Need to have at least a trace….say 0.03-.1ppm in a tank less than one year old…..higher levels OK in very well stocked tank.

I am not convinced would need more picks. Most likely Chrysophyte

I have attached some help for you

It is not Ostreopsis for sure

Phosphates 0.06 Hanna Checker. When I looked up
Chrysophyte that surely looks like what I have. How do I deal with that?

Looks like some kind of phyto. Too small to be osteopsis dino (using the strand if hair algae as point of reference). Got a more zoomed pic? Or a tank shot?
