Tank is a month old, started with 40lbs of KP Aquatics live rock and 60lbs of dry Marco rock.

Will try lettuce nudis first if it’s confirmed bryopsis, just want to be sure as I’ve never dealt with this type of algae before.

Thanks all

It is Bryopsis. You want to get to the root to rid of it. First, you need to reduce white light intensity and follw up with either:
- move rock and light tooth-brushing with hydrogen Peroxide
- Liquid vibrant (dose at 80% of recommended dosage)
- Fluconasal also known as Flux.

Thanks. I’ll scrub them and try nudis first and then flux if that doesn’t work.

Frustrated, have set up all my previous tanks with just dry rock and decided to mix things up this time. Serves me right I guess lol.
