I agree that it looks like dinos, but I'm not sure I see any of the typical bubbles in the strands. Might be worth sending Pants a sample to find out for sure before you start down the path of any eradication method.
And I'd definitely encourage you to try some of the things others have been successful with before nuking the tank. No one method works for everyone, but there are enough reports of success with H2O2, Algae-X, UV, CupriSorb, algae scrubbers and a number of other approaches that nuking your tank may not be necessary. It's worth a shot in my opinion.
