I have been fighting dinos without any luck. Just bought a microscope but having a hard time deciding what it is.

Anyone able to help me ID them?

Check Taricha. A Guide to Dinoflagellate Identification in Reef Aquaria:

They look like large cell amphidinium to me based on the resolution (estimate of size) and prescence of beak.
