Yup.Easy, reef flux
I’m 110% sure it’s bryopsis. How do I get rid of it? I’ve heard it’s one of the harder algae to deal with
I'm going to pile on here to see if people have advice for me and avoid starting a new thread.
My tank is 7 months old and I had bryopsis show up pretty early on and start to grow out everywhere in little tufts. I have done 2 full rounds of fluconazole (reef flux brand) per the instructions. 3 weeks, no carbon, let my skimmer overflow constantly back into the sump. In both cases, it appeared to completely eradicate the problem for about a month and then started coming back.
Thoughts? Should I try a bigger dose or keep it in there longer than 3 weeks? My tank does not have a nutrient problem, in fact I have to dose phosphates regularly, so it's not a problem to have the skimmer out of commission.
Well, I guess not, but it seems to behave like it. Nothing eats it, Flucanazole kills it. It's so hard to get a decent photo but I'll try. It seems to defy the iPhone's ability to focusYou sure it’s actually bryopsis?
Unfortunately, taking rocks out is not possible for me. They are all interconnected with coral glued / encrusting all over the place.mine always came back like 6 months or so later regardless how long I ran flux.
I took the rocks out that were infected and did a 10 min tank water and peroxide dip and scrub and that put and end to it.

Here are a few pics. It's still in its early scraggly looking stage but it thickens up. It also tends to pop out of the base of some of my frags, not sure if that's where it came from or just likes it there or just coincidence. It also seems to grow in a lot of the crevices of my rockwork.
These aren't great but the best I could get today.
We’d love to see a video of your tangs and lawnmower eating bryopsis!Buy some more CUC, my tangs love bryopsis as a treat. Lawn mower blenny if tank is smaller

Haha I’ll get it today or tomorrow , just fed bryopsis yesterday so might have to wait dependingWe’d love to see a video of your tangs and lawnmower eating bryopsis!
Rare mention , my arrow crab enjoyed it as well lolWe’d love to see a video of your tangs and lawnmower eating bryopsis!
Awesome! Thanks.Haha I’ll get it today or tomorrow , just fed bryopsis yesterday so might have to wait depending
Are you sure it's bryopsis? And you're feeding it? I think the reason for the original reply is that it's generally understood that CUC don't touch bryopsis. My snails, tang, emerald crab, etc have not touched this stuff.Haha I’ll get it today or tomorrow , just fed bryopsis yesterday so might have to wait depending
