Hi, this algae has broken out in my ~3 month old tank. Looks like it might be Bryopsis but doesn't have the same feather-like appearance of B. Pennata or B. Plumosa. It's hard to tell from the pics, but the thin appendages radiate out in all directions from the "stalks", rather than flat like a fern or feather like I've seen in most pictures of Bryopsis. Nothing eats it (snails, hermits, tang) from what I can tell so far.

TLDR; Could someone ID this for me?

Here's a more zoomed out picture. Should i assume bryopsis and get some fluconazole?

Yes that looks like bryopsis. Try removing now before it gets worse. Fluconozole worked for me.
