    If it is bryopsis, I would get all of it off. Use a clean quart container or so, and use a tweezers to get the bryopsis off.

    After that, make sure to elevate your magnesium levels to 1600-1800 ppm. The bryopsis won't be able to survive that.

    Depends on the species of bryopsis high Mag levels does not kill it all or does that super German algaecide I had my mag to 3,500 and my bryopsis Penneta just kept feeding on it.. I took mine up to 4,800 and lest it there for a month did nothing .
