I have been trying to manually remove some each night by hand. I haven't made much of a dent yet. Some spots are hard since it's attached to the rocks really well and doesn't want to be pulled off.

I ended up having to deal with prorocentrum dinos for over a year until I could safely say I won. they were definitely a different beast as they never leave the substrate so UV isn't effective. I found success with algae and introducing some more established live rock.

It is pretty amazing how well UV can work. I think it's the opposite though. Amphidinium are in the sand and don't go into the water column. That's what I had in my sand and the UV had no effect on them.

Not sure if you need any free chaeto (with pods, brittle stars, etc) - just let me know.

Thanks! I may take you up on that soon. Although the last stuff you gave me didn't last very long. Maybe second time will work better!
