Agreed.
However the round motionless ones in the slimy strings off of rocks are not amphidinium.
Amphidinium stay in sand, don't have heavy mucous strings, move a lot constantly, gliding rather than spinning.
Your stringy things are something different though - not ostreopsis either. Also not prorocentrum.
In Pants' thread, he referred to every once in a while seeing in samples from people small round golden motionless dinos embedded in mucous that look like zooxanthelle (symbiodinium).
Makes me wonder if symbiodinium could ever actually multiply in a tank outside of a host.
Slip covers don't keep dinos from moving. So that's not what's going on.
