You will find varying opinions of how to get rid of it.

When I have a small outbreak in the 90G ... I raised my magnesium using Kent Tech M ... works like a charm.

I know but worried about bleaching.

Drop those nutrients and dose with amino acids if the colors start to go in the corals.. Won't be an over night thing but keeping n-ates and p-ates low will take care of it..

Is this Bryopsis?

I have patches of this stuff all over my tonga branch and I'm having a hard time getting rid of it.
I added a foxface a few days ago and he seems to be eating up some of it.

What level do you raise the MG up to for treatment.....and for how long?

that looks more like a type of hair algae to me.

Bryopsis has more of multi branch look to it where typical hair algae is single strand.

slowly bring it up to between 1500 and 1600, you should start seeing a difference within a week after you hit the 1500 mark.

Those do look like Bryopsis. Regular green algae are much softer, try pulling some out, if its hard, most likely its bryopsis.

The dreaded DEVIL WEED (bryopsis). If I'm not mistaken I think I also see bubble algae on the frag as well on the bottom right. Thats another problem in itself. Good luck. I had both.
Raising mag helps as do lettuce nudis. The lettuce nudis usually don't last long because they either get chopped up by koralias or get eaten by acans if you have any of those two. As for the bubble algae don't pop them in the tank. Remove the rock from tank if possible and carefully dislodge them

Zany sorry to sidetrack your thread

My algae is soft and I can easily pull longer strands out, so I am guessing HA

Lets hope it is just HA. Harry is right, theres also bubble algae, but who doesnt have those? Manually picking them out or using emerald crabs is the only two methods I know. GL.
