I had the same. I would bet here it's Amphidinium. I had a mix of Ostreopsis and those. Ostreopsis disappear quickly with UV, Amphidinium doesn't. You kill one and there is more food for the other. Fortunately it seems that you do not have too much of those for now.
I am still battling it but after the last blackout they did not come back anymore (for now.....)
What I did prior to the blackout was silicate dosing (1-2ppm /day) together with phyto dosing, increasing pH with a skimmer, kept nutrients high (NO3 at around 10-15ppm, PO4 cannot be measured reliably when dosing silicate) and added a tiger conch.
Then I did a 3 days blackout after cleaning the most of the dinos I could see, kept UV on 24/7 for the blackout time and kept adding SiO2. Now after 4 days I still have white sand. Hopefully it will remain like that.
edit. For SiO2 dosing I use waterglass. It's from a Spanish company and they specify the Si concentration on the bottle, so I can dilute it accordingly. It was like 8€ for 1l and you make hundreds of bottles of "sponge excel"
