I have this algae only in the sand, the corals aren’t affected, it’s only in the sand

What could it be?

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?

Aiptasia? Tried getting a video with white light but as soon as it comes on it shoot back into the tube
