Sorry if I seem confused but LCA is only on the sand bed and maybe at the base of rocks on the sand from what I have researched. Your rocks are completely covered. Could it have also been Prorocentrum since they look very close to LCA under a microscope? My rocks are clean and only have LCA on the sand. Anyways, good job on getting rid of your dino's. Hopefully I have the same success.
No the shape under a microscope looked like amp, moved like amp. Prorocentrum have a different shape than amp from what I have seen. These were only on the sandbed, then moved to the base of the rocks, the photo I posted were at their worst completely covering which took months.

Are you leaving the sand and glass alone or are you cleaning it? Still trying to get a recommendation on whether to clean or leave alone.
I have mostly left it alone. I did scrape the front of the tank glass when I had visitors coming to the house. The rock and sand look a mess but I am letting it go.
 

Just grow it: Have you ever added CO2 to your reef tank?
