Byropsis only in sump. What to do? Expensive corrals now

[christwendt]

Hello I want everyone’s opinion. I have had byropsis in past about a year ago and treated with fluconazole. It was gone until I moved my tank. The only changes I made was moving the tank and I got rid of a decent sized rock. I haven’t added anything new. As of now it’s only in my sump. I have some expensive corrals now including sps and a Colorado sunburst anenome. I’m afraid to use any medications as it would mean I have to get rid of my chaeto and shut off skimmer causing a fluctuation in nitrates. I’m confused why it came back after my move and why it’s only in my sump. What should I do?

dose fluconazole with expensive corrals?

remove my sump and scrub it completely clean ? I would be able to save my chaeto this way but unsure if that would rid of the byropsis.
Thanks so much for the input.

There is Maybe a few little patches not even a cm big in my display but it’s 98 percent in my sump.

Fortunately its in the sump. Scrape off with the edge of an old credit card after pulling as much as you can by hand. The issue with bryopsis is the roots. Once you get rid of the roots, you get rid of the bryopsis. Pitho crabs and Chiton snails will rid of the leftovers

Will it be okay if I scrape it but some enters my display ? There is byropsis where my return pump is. I don’t think I’d be able to manually remove it all without some floating into display. Maybe it’s worth it to remove the whole sump and scrub. I will see if my lfs has those crabs and snails.

Turn pump off for a few minutes. Scrape off and siphon out
