Looks like they might be some species of dinoflagellates, if you are able to get a picture under a microscope that would be best.

Thank you Tim. I was kind of thinking it was dinoflagellates. I strange strain of them. Hqve you ever had this problem Tim?

Is there a way I can edit the title of.this post to "Need I.D, it's killing my corals!"

Sure looks like Dinoflagellates

I've had ostreopsis sp. Dinoflagellates that looked much different then your species, mine did kill quite a few corals though. I didn't use it however Dino-x may work for you.

What did you do to get rid of it, Tim.
I think you are right, with it being dinoflagelates

No water changes, limited feeding, and dosed live phytoplankton. I was wanting to use dinox but it didn't work on the species I had.
