Hi all. Hoping for some community input. Is this bryopsis?

I have thought for 6 months is gha but nothing seemingly eats it and I have tons of algae eaters.

Parameters are all in check and no matter how often I clean it it comes back.

Becoming a real problem.

Thanks !

Nope GHA. Fish and CUC members are finicky. Just because they are supposed to eat it doesn't mean they will.
Get you a hard bristle tooth brush and get to scrubbing it off. I have also found that fish and CUC are way more likely to eat it if its short and not long and stringy.

I got rid of bryopsis running algaefix in my 15. Dose every 3 days until its gone. It can take 3-4 weeks.
Remove as much manually as you can before treatment starts.
I have 2 fish 30+ mixed corals on my 15.

Thanks! If it's not bryopsis I can get it with time and work. Bryopsis scared me . I didn't want to have to use chemicals and risk my sps
