So what ever this is seems to be bothering my zoa now. Looking to see what it is and best course of action to remove. I have dosed vibrant twice about a week ago for a massive green hair algae which is now morphed into a cyano/Dino issue...At this point I just want to kill this piece lol.

That looks like bryopsis to me. Reef flux rx works to kill it . Hopefully you'll get some more eyes on it to confirm.

caulerpa. Throw the plug with the zoas all away. You can try to salvage some of the zoas but I would surgically remove them from the plug if I wanted to keep them.

I think you were right. Once the frag was pulled and I was able to manually pull some of it off it looked alot like bryopsis. I found a post from like 2004 or 2006 about just dunking the whole frag in some hydrogen peroxide for 30 sec. Long story short that's all it took. Thanks for help!
