They look like diatoms on the sand, but i'm also getting long string bits here and there (no bubbles yet). this is what it looks like under the microscope... can someone please help ID so i know what my next course of action will be. I took a bit of of the "hair" filaments (which is what that giant brown/green mat is). Thanks! Sorry for the shaky video qualiy.
