Looks like it to me. I've had this happen before where I used chemiclean to remove a cyano outbreak without resolving the underlying nutrient issue and I got dinos instead. Much much worse than cyano by far.

Only way I beat it was to increase nutrient removal and dosing hydrogen peroxide at 1ml/10 gals of tank water for a few weeks. If your outbreak is small, take care of it ASAP before it gets out of hand.

When I had them, I siphoned out manually daily trough a filter sock, then changed Carbon Daily, and ran Phosban. Went away in about a week. Mine were waaaaaay worse than that!

I believe I have started winning my battle against bubble algae, dino and some other brown stringy stuff. I started dosing my tank and myself with vodka. I also started to do small h202 dosing today. Ive been taking out the rocks and scrubbing off the bubble and using tweezers to get the ones stuck in holes.

Dinos seem to be going away, I did a WC and sucked out what I could. Also dosed some peroxide.

Thanks.
