So just a heads up... if you havent looked under the scope in a while it might be valuable info to take a recent look.
Fishkeeper mentioned in a PM he later ID'd the new ones as amphidinium. From my experience, not a super toxic type. If I had Ostis, and could trade them for amphidinium by running UV - I'd do it every time.
