What's that dino?!

[Woodman]

I finally purchased a microscope after dealing with this dinoflagellate for a year and the battle is still going on! If I can get some expert advice on the type that would be greatly appreciated. That would allow me to find out the right way to deal with this enemy that will not go away.

Thank you

Comparing your pics to online search confirms dinos but trying to determine which strain now.
