I am fairly new to this, so here I come seeking help from more experienced people.
I have something growing on my dry rock in my 6month tank. It really has exploded in the last few weeks. It is sort of fluffy, but also jelly-like, when I blast it with the baster it comes off and sinks unless there is not enough current. Its color is pale, whitish, none brown or green at all. It does not have bubbles. the ones it has look like are bubles that come of the rock and are trapped by the growth. And it is not stringlike, it forms thick clumps.
I have seen pictures of how dinoflagellates are supposed to look, and although mine looks nothing like those pictures I suspect it is dinos mainly because my nutrients are too low.
I have also another growth on my sandbed, and it looks like another type of dino, but I have no idea, here, have a look:
