If you have to ask if you have a dino bloom, odds are you don't. Your tank will look like it's boiling over as everything will be covered in bubbles, and there will be a stringy/snotty like goo covering everything (including fish in some cases!) It is a little like cyano, only, cyano has more tenacity in substance (if that makes any sense). Basically this stuff disintegrates at a touch, but reproduces so amazingly fast you can almost literally see it grow in front of you. You can siphon it out 100%, and it will regrow 100% within hours (or less).

Beyond a visual nuisance, it may be harmful or toxic if ingested (I'm not certain, but I had a lot of snails die off when I had it).
