    Bryopsis. Sorry but it is difficult to eradicate. Some have had success dosing high levels of Kent TechM. Good luck,

    Take that power head out right now and clean every spec off then soak in mild bleach water.

    Took out the power head. It was also growing on a tiny 5$ mushroom frag. Took that out too. Its now only on 1 spot. Problem is, its on a huge piece of rock, glued down, and covered with 6 types of coral. Its only one condensed patch. Would altipsia x work on this patch. I have no idea how to dose up mag, but will get a mag test kit this weekend.

    Could try covering it with kalk paste.
