I am not very experienced in saltwater tanks just yet but I think that the people that are would definitely want to know your parameters.
 
But as much I as know I would say that does seem like dinos. But once again I am not an expert and your average hobbyist would probably know more then me about this lol.
 
Its hard to see.. Looks like a brown crust, at first it was hard to scrape now it peels off when I brush it
 
Parameters look good maybe Phosphate could be a little higher.
Phosphate are hard to keep stable for me.

I feed pellets twice a day and frozen once a day and they stay really low...

I tried reef roid but its unstable and too much in imo

Yes I can see that it is like a crust in the video. I don't really think that is dinos as they are usually snotty and stringy.
 
Could you try taking a turkey baster if you have one and see if it easily comes off? If it doesn't could you try with a tweezer or something sharp and try scraping it.

I did in some spots and it doesn't really come back.

I added 20 hermits and I feel like it helped but the top is still covered because of the lights.

It doesn't come off with turkey baster or with tweezer? Or it doesnt come off with either?
 
Join mack dinoflagellates group on Facebook and post your pictures. It looks like Dino's. I just can't tell which kind and they are all slightly different to treat.
 
Anyone that makes a broad statement about dinos should not be listened to. There are a few common kinds. The act different, look different, are treated differently, and have different levels of toxicity. Trust me, this isn't the place to get answers. No one has even told you what type you have. Macks page will identify and have the resources for how to treat.
