Hey Jaws, sorry to hear about the dinos. If you have considered a no-photoperiod cure before you move the contents you might also try a freshwater dip for your corals. Doing this would alow you to move them right into the 180 without harming them with no light. Then you should be able to leave your current tank in the dark for 10 to 14 days to really make sure the dinos are dead. Just my opinion

I hope more people publish their findings. It would be great to find a common factor so the rest of us can avoid this blight.

I'm wondering if the dinos appear in mainly sps tanks or in tanks where there is a combination of soft, lps and sps.

FWIW, I had a mixed tank. Frogspawn, hammer, zoos, leathers, sps frags. The only things that survived were the zoos and a porites frag.

Well, I don't know. The thing is, the two times I went through it, I lost almost my entire snail population each time. I can't imagine a sea hare would fare any differently unfortunately, since they're basically snails still..

Dino's are a protazoa(Sic??) with a flagellate (tail like structure) that they propel themselves with. They contain neurotoxins and they thrive on nutrient rich water and light (most contain zooxanthellae). They do not consume silicates like diatom algae nor do they use irons etc.
I'd consider cutting my photoperiod and removing as much organic material from the aquarium as possible for as long as you can stand. Don't just do a water change but clean under all your rock, clean/rinse out your rock etc. Rinse your gravel/sand etc and see how that goes.
I'm only repeating what I've read in the last couple of days, I really haven't got a clue was just curious and wanted to see what information was out there.
