Hi all,
My tank is about 4 months old now and had a break out of what I assume is dinos for the past month. I think it is Ostreopsis but just wanted to get some confirmation before I grab a UV.
It tends to go stringy with bubbles on the end, apologies for the $15 microscope picture.
Thanks in advance

Looks like ostreo
I am in several meetings but turn off white lighting for 5-7 days and blow stuff loose with a turkey baster and siphon/net up well
Cease feeding any coral foods and nopox
Clean all filters and add 1.5ml of liquid bacteria daily during the day for 5-7 days
I’ll send the rest of instructions later
