It does not take a big dino bloom to do havoc, a few patches here and there can make the SPS experience miserable.
We are not doing enough about it. It will take more than a hobbyist from Iceland to get the blue whale in the lagoon out of there.

You're right of course, but it's so difficult to identify anything in a reef tank.. Brown gunk could be funny looking cyano, diatoms, dinos, chrysophytes, 'normal' brown macroalgae or an alien invasion. Or a combination of any of those. In fact it's probably more common to have 2 things than not.. Not to mention there's not a strong consensus on what actually works against the beggars.
Perhaps someone smart could make a simplified key? Does it kill your snails, go away at night, like light/flow etc etc
