Mico Bubbles

[scottmin]

So, I tried my best to figure out what this is, but if you google anything with the word bubble you get nothing but bubble algae or bubble coral. I know this is neither, it seems to be all over my tank, I don't know if the bubbles are a byproduct of some sort of algae, or what. But they're on most of my corals, and most of my corals aren't opening. Any assistance would be appreciated!

Cyanobacteria or Dino? Google images for both and compare.

How old is the tank?

The tank is about 8 months old!

Ok

Blow everything off with a turkey baster, let it settle, clean mechanical filtration afterwards. The next day if it grows back with a vengeance during the next photoperiod it is likely dino.

Tons of threads on dino and treatments.

Check out ReefCleaners.org it may help with ID and treatments.

I'll try that, thank you so much!
