Can anyone identify this orange algae or bacteria. It flakes off. Currently battling dinos. Not sure if this has to do with the dinos or something separate.
 
Almost looks like cyanobacteria?

How old is the system you are managing?
 
I was thinking the same but haven’t seen it so orange before. 5 month old system. Thanks for the reply.

You are welcome.

The microbes and coraline algae's come in many beautiful colors!
