+1. Dino is like Redbugs, comes around really bad every few months due to reefers with a lack of knowledge or just being plain dishonest.Its the gift people give you with frags
Not impossible, but there is no surefire way to do it. Some raise pH to 8.8, some go lights out, some NEVER do water changes until it is gone, some break down their tanks and replace/dry out their rocks, and many just give up and leave the hobby. If I had it in my tank I wouldn't feel comfortable selling anyone a frag unless I did a complete break down and replaced all of the rock.Is it truly impossible to get rid of?

It's actually not an algea, it's a protist, but no conventional coral dips do not work. Spot treatment with hydrogen peroxide have been reported to have some effects.Thanks,
I've never had it and hope I never do. Since it's algae, I'm guessing that dipping new coral in something like Coral Rx won't keep it out of your tank...?
You don't dose it, you pull the rock, coral, frag plug that has dino on it and spot treat with hydrogen peroxide with a Q tip, syringe, etc.That's interesting. How would u dose hydrogen peroxide?
It works I can tell you from experience. It also works on HA and Bryo.Spot treatment with hydrogen peroxide have been reported to have some effects.
You are spot treating with the coral/rock/etc out of water. You don't get any on the coral.That's kool. And that doesn't do anything bad to ur corals?
