Here is a quick video as well. What makes u think its Ostreopsis. I have a hard time telling for sure looking at the guide. In my tank i see a light brown red dust on the sand. Not reall heavy but it does get heavier as the day goes on and less in the morning. I do see some on the rocks here and there but its hard to even see on thr rocks. I dont see any bubbles or stringy goo. It came after treating the tank with vibrant for a medium case if bubble algae. The bubble algae is totaly gone, but this showed up.

The sesame seed shape of Ostreopsis is the give away.
