Looks like a frag I got had byprosis and in just glued down most of my frags in my new tank. It's not bad but I don't think I can get some of the plugs off and don't really want to drain the tank. I know there's been success with kent m tech and I have heard there are a few inverts that will eat it. Any ideas thoughts. I actually beat this another time by raising my mag for 2 weeks and it disappeared but now it's got back on a random frag I didn't notice. So whats your thoughts. I also have another tank still up and running that I have thought of trying to get what I could into that one if I can get the frags off. If not then looks like I'm playing the Kent's game again. Also any one know of anything that eats byprosis at all. Thanks again.

Critters that eat Bryopsis is hit and miss, your normal CUC can eat it.
I'd stick with the Kent Tech M and raising your MAG up, that outta do the trick.

I used Kent's Tech M. TBH I think I went overboard with it and never had any adverse affects on my tank. It's been about 15 months since the bryopsis disappeared, and til this day I haven't had to add any mag to my tank. HTH!!!

I fought it like a plague for over 8 months and was on the verge of tearing it all down even with 10% weekly water changes. Bought a sailfin tang and he simply devoured it.
