I think this is bryopsis! But I'm hoping someone's tells me it's not.

Just rinse the cup out. Dont scrub it.

I have discovered that there is one way of ridding this algae and it works! I have had to deal with it on multiple occasions! Raising your magnesium levels to 1600ppm-1800ppm for 2-4 weeks. I used a product called Kent marine Tech M

You want to raise your magnesium around 90 ppm per day, not exceeding 100 ppm in 24 hours.

I found someone else who did this, and they reported great results! I haven't seen it since!

^ NO. Absolutely not.

How long ago did you do that?

It used to be a method many advocated, but it seems it was an impurity in the magnesium that was doing the algae killing. This impurity does not appear to be present since they reformulated and the magnesium route does not seem to be successful anymore.

This was maybe 5 years ago

Last year I went through serious mg dosing with 2 different brands back to back. Zero effectiveness and went a couple month at least.

You need to catch up on new times. The only methods that can be dosed is fluconazole. 100% effective in my book. You just need to be careful not to reintroduce it. So if your trading with the same guy that you got it to begin with you'll get it again. Therefore qt corals and use fluco in the qt. Effective in one week. No harm to anything.

There is a massive thread here all about it.
