Does anyone have a microscope in the South Bay I could borrow? I'm pretty sure I have dinos in the frag tank.
My Amazon "microscope" can only get me this close:
Did it look they were rotating/rolling over on an axis?
If so, it's ostreopsis.
Hard to tell from this video. I'll try the microscope from Max.
What was your treatment protocol for the ostreopsis?
Mack’s Dino on fb forum. They have all the information for a positive ID. I thought I had Dino’s twice. Looks just like Dino’s. After looking under a microscope. It turned out that I had silicates. Basically my ro/di was all used up. Lol. Lazy me.

Appropriately sized UV sterilizer. Black out for 3-5 days (including fuge). If nitrates and phosphates are zero, bring them up to something reasonable can help.
Blackout isn't always necessary, but it can definitely speed things up.
