Hi all so I have this algae which is covered in tiny clear air bubbles as well as my entire live rock and most things in my tank have small clear air bubbles on them currently I haven’t noticed this before they came very quickly not over weeks. I was wondering what this could be I don’t believe Dino’s but wanted some input what you all think it is
 
Hard to fully tell. I was in a similar boat and spent $50 to get a microscope from Amazon and confirmed it was dinos.

Turns out the two types I had entered the water column at night. So I ran UV (green killing machine) which seems to have wiped them out.

I also dosed silicates, MicroBacter7, increased feeding, and all the other standard practices. Took care of the dinos in about a week or a little more.

Super happy I bought the microscope to confirm, because I was dealing with that “algae” for months and couldn’t beat it.
