I have a pretty persistent strain of bryopsis in my tank. It hasn’t taken over or anything but it makes me nervous. Reef flux didn’t kill it. I dipped the rock in hydrogen peroxide when I moved it to a bigger tank. It disappeared for a couple months. But I see it coming back. Maybe I can’t defeat it forever. But yall got any thoughts I haven’t tried? Or tips on managing it?

Yeah I tried it twice. Two weeks each time. Lost a couple corals to it. The bryopsis got a little stringy. But then bounced back. Today I just pulled my rocks out and painted the bryopsis with hydrogen peroxide. Maybe that will weaken it enough for foxface to munch on it. Or I’ll just have to paint it every few months.

Manual removal plus nutrient control maybe?

Yeah I had some fish disease and the medications I added did mess up my perameters. So I’m trying to get nutrients back on track. And the medication made my fox face lethargic too. So one of those things may be the culprit.

How long did you dose reef flux? Do you have a pic of the bryopsis? I got rid of my bryopsis completely by medicating with Flux RX for 14 days straight.
