I am almost positive this is Bryopsis algae but wanted to get feedback from other who may have first hand experience.

Pics fuzzy but may be. The key is to pull every bit you can and then remove roots using either a dental pick or small crochet needle
You MUST get all the roots or it will return over and over again
This is best accomplished in a container of tank water
After you’re done to help with control add: chiton snails, pitho crabs and astrea snails
 
These might be better pics.
I wanted to go the flux rx route as there a 7-9 little patches that I can see and I can think there are more I can’t.
