Dinos v cyano
Hello,
What are the main differences between dynos and cyano, I mean visually. I thought I was dealing with dinos but I'm not getting the air bubbles. It start off stringy but is now matting and when disturbed clumps the sand. Thanks

Visually color is the difference.
Cyano is dark red or maroon & Dinos are brown.

Yes cyano can be green, maroon and other colors (those 2 seem the most common)
Got a microscope? Easy to determine what you have from that.. OR http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2531708

+1 for the microscope. If it is dinos the microscope will also be helpful in identifying the species as they are all treated a little differently.
