Algae Id.

[Ben Weaver]

Any help would be great! I have one frag of twizzler zoas that has a course green algea on it. Usually with my zoas i just soak them in a peroxide dip and that takes care of it but this stuff just doesn't go away! I have done at least 4 peroxide dips were pull all the algea i can off of the frag and then soak. I have done different concentrations. I feel like the last time was about all tge zoas could handle. They stayed closed for close to 3 days.
Any other ideas of what to do for this? I know i could just toss the frag but id like to save them of I could!

Looks like briopsis, I had it infest my tank a month or so ago. I lowered nutrients did lights off for 3 or 4 days and it did little to nothing to it.
I treat it with fluconazole and that worked

The only bad thing I experienced was an algae bloom, I read on that thread that it might have been due to all the bryopsis dying and releasing nutrients. Not a big deal as water changes took care of it
