Hello, I think there are Ostreopsis. I would like a second opinion. Sorry for the crappy photos, microscope only has a 40x x 25x lens.

Just tested PO4 twice with the Hanna ULR, got triple 0s (0.00ppm). Skimmer on, will try to get some sort of phosphate dosing going today if I can get my hands on some ingredients.

That is a small cell amphidinium dino centered in the pictures. I could not watch the movie though to see if additional dinos are present. I do not see any ostreopsis dinos in the pictures.

Good luck...I battled these for about a year. I tried many things but the Elegance Corals Dino/Cyano treatment protocol is what ultimately actually worked for me.
