Hmmm I will try and get a better shot too. I haven’t heard of those before this but upon a quick search it looks like they come in due to higher nutrients. My tank was ultra low before this all started up weeks back. I have been working hard to raise my nitrate and phosphate.I’m guessing chrysophytes.

I found this earlier and what I have looks like the slime in the small cell Amphidinium picture in that document. The only thing is the cells in my slide look more circular than most of the pictures on that document.I don’t think we are looking at Dinos here
this may help
What magnification are those pics taken at?Here are a few more I’m hoping are better
I believe it’s the macWhat magnification are those pics taken at?
i just realized I had the 10x lense in and switched to the 25x40. Here is a new pictureIF:
a) That pic is at 400X
AND
b) The cells are stationary
THEN you have chrysophytes.
I still have some kicking around. Nothing seems to eat them (besides my one spot foxface that eats everything). But they don't seem to harm live coral flesh. As you can see in this thread, I've tried several things but none seem to really do the trick. They are gradually improving though.
Symbiodinium. Got any treatment ideas?
While it looks kinda similar to ostreopsis in the tank, it is very different under the scope. They are VERY small and completely motionless. They are easily basted or siphoned away but return the next day. They don't stick to coral flesh, but do stick to everything else. I FEEL like they are...www.reef2reef.com
I do.Do you think they are not chrysophytes?
I am still trying to decide on what actions/elements I have deployed that seem to be helping. Pretty gentle tweaks without much separation. Slightly lower PO4 and dosing phyto seem to have some merit so far.After a little more research I am starting to think it is crysophytes. Would still love some more opinions so I can start trying to treat it though.
