is this dinos?

Hi everyone. I have this brownish algae growing in my tank, which is 3 months old. Is this dinos? Thank you for any help.

Does it have long strings and bubbles on the ends when the lights are on? Can you upload a peak light hour photo?

there are strings but no bubbles, except one spot on my clove polyp. I'll upload a picture when the lights are on tomorrow. Thanks.

You really need a microscope with 400x to get an ID if and what type of Dino it is. Without one, it’s like putting a drop of blood on a counter and asking someone how many blood cells are in the drop.

Yes a microscope is super important and a useful tool for any future observations in the tank and also around the house. I got the one with the phone holder so I can take pictures. It works up to 400x plus. Got some good pictures of my LCA lol

Yeah thanks. A pic under white light is better. But an ID from a microscope removes all guessing. It's the best way, or u could spend countless hours fighting something with non efficient methods, including dollars and dollars lol.
