You are welcome. I also posted on R2R, but no one responded yet.
I think those look like Coolia. But, have you joined the facebook page? They are the experts. They will tell you exactly and how to kill them.
I posted the pics on the FB group.

I have no experience with dinos, but I think the black out period is a old procedure and there are better methods to combat dinos, I believe there is a thread/series at humblefish about this, also in my experience removing corals to tackle problems in the tank has resulted inore loses due to the changes, I rather put the corals thru the process, they have the bacteria/algae with them too,.
Water gets cold very quickly this time a year, I recently removed all frags from the frag tank to give it a good clean, didn't think it would take me too long so I just everything in a bucket, water dropped 20 degrees in 20 minutes, lost some frags and the others were pissed for weeks. Good luck

Is This the Dinoflagellate Treatment We’ve all been Hoping for? | Reef Builders | The Reef and Saltwater Aquarium Blog

@ericrodriguez have you tested your Nitrate & Phosphate?
Found the post
@ericrodriguez & @nvladik They are thinking possibly Coolia & Chrysophytes. Did you notice the round cells moving at all? They posted a sample video of how Coolia move.
Bigger cells (Coolia) had the classic dino round spinning movement. Tiny ones (Chrysophytes) did not, most likely confirming they are a type of diatoms.

@ericrodriguez For Coolia, the treatment is oversized UV plumbed to and from the display. Recommended UV size is 1 watt per 3 gallons. If you can go even bigger, bigger is better. Flow through the UV should be slow...1 to 3 times gph. Very important though that it is plumbed to and from the display.
