Need help to ID, Dyno?

VirgisMik · Oct 4, 2023

Hello everyone,
I'm new in saltwater hoby. Need your help with identification, or confirmation.
Really want to belief that this is not dyno.
If it is dyno - is there any good fast way to get rid of it. Thanks.
Attached some microscope snaps and on on rock.

It could be dinoflagellates.

Tank looks new, if it is, a dyno outbreak is fairly common as the stages of bacterial and microbial life set up colonies.

Could very well be, but without greater magnification and clarity its impossible to tell what kind.

This is chrysophytes (Shape, size, embedding in mucus - spacing between cells)

Hi,
Some better photos. It looks like some kine bacterial slime.
Microscope photo - unfortunately can't make greater magnification.

If you are asking about a problem in your tank you'd be better off starting a new thread.
