Hello guys,

I have a serious issue with my tank for 2 weeks. It slowly covered rocks and corals one by one and now my tank was fully covered by a brownish maroon slimy thing holding onto its white strings. I thought it was Dino at first but there are no bubbly things on it and it’s sheet-like. I suspect that it’s a bacterial infestation. Could you help me to identify and how can I get rid of it?

We need clear pics under white light and complete parameters including age of tank and salinity.

Unfortunately looks like Dino’s. Nutrients are low

I'd start feeding more or dose phosphate. I'd also brush/blast and siphon as much of it as you can.
