Your dinos look like osteoporosis - they seem to be sesame seed shaped......UV works best on them since they go into the water column at night. It is best to plumb the UV temporarily into the display if possible....on a low flow rate. They are also highly toxic so run carbon and change it out weekly.

First- Check phosphates and nitrates to assure theyre not elevated.
Here is full program:
Prepare by starting with a water change and blow this stuff loose with a turkey baster and siphon up loose particles.
Turn lights off (at least white and run blue at 10-15%) for 5 days and at night dose 1ml of hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons for all 5 nights. If you dont have light dependent coral- turn all lights off.
During the day dose 1ml of liquid bacteria (such as bacter 7) per 10 gallons.
Clean filters daily and DO NOT FEED CORAL FOODS OR ADD NOPOX as it is food for dinos.
Day 5,, you can start with blue lights - ramping up and work your white lights up slowly

Ideally, UV direct to tank is most effective but sump also works as in my case
