What does dinoflagellates look like?

[Jakepen]

I've got a few weird strands of algae popping up. Kind of concerned, not really sure what Dino's look like. Not sure why I think they could even be Dino's, just a thought. They are light brown strands, some half inch long, some barely poking out of the sand. I can only find about five strands total, but I see them. Also my rocks look fuzzy, not thick fuzz though. I'll try and post some pictures, may be hard to spot.

Well that picture, with my lepto. Can you make out that stringy algae? It's one piece that splits into two, and fuzzy. A yellowish color.

It looks like the basic algae outbreak. Possibly the formation of hair algae.

Yes dependant on species
I am on a path to rid this massive problem in today's aquaria!
