We have algae. I have been feeding heavy recently.

Does look like dinoflagellates , you should notice it will become long stringy when exposed to light. I defeated really bad Dino infestation recently. Only thing that worked was a UV filter. Observe if the dinoflagellates dissolve in the water column at night. If so, UV filter is your best bet. Ran UV filter 24/7 for 2 weeks; almost all Dino’s disappeared. Now I run it 12 hours at night. I would advise against chemicals, but do your own research.

Is this something i can rent somewhere? I have used Dino X in the past.
 
Identification is key in treating dinos. Treatment may vary based on ID.

 
Blackout for 2 days works well for me to beat Dinos or whatever i had. I also run a UV, abit a small 13w cheapo versus from amazon. Safer than any chemicals.
 
Two things:

1. I have been dipping my corals in Brightwell Recover instead of a standard frag dip cleaner. I am an idiot. I can't even comprehend how I made this mistake for like 2 months. No wonder I have pests.

2. Added 1 peppermint shrimp. Cleaned out all the Aptasia in 2 days.

Where did you get the peppermint shrimp from? Neptune?
