I have two small favia frags that are being over grown by bryopsis algae. The frags were only about 3 heads to begin with, and now one only has two and the other only has one. I've been picking the algae off with tweezers, but it grows back really quickly. I finally covered one of the frag's skeleton with super glue gel to kill the algae. It's worked so far, but the coral did not like the gel touching it and receded even more.
I don't really have an algae problem in my tank. A few turfs of bryopsis here and there, but my nitrates are usually 0-2 and my phosphates are always undetectable. I'm going to add a carbon/phosphate dual reactor soon. Maybe that will help, but it might take too long.
But I was just wondering if anyone has used this or any other algaecide successfully with corals. I would be treating them out of the tank of course, but I'm not even sure if this stuff could kill bryopsis. I need to do something soon or the corals are going to die.
