Cant tell if this is gha or bryopsis...

Hard to tell from the pic. Does it have a fern like structure or just single hairs all over the place?
 
I'll third it ...
My understanding of bryopsis is a more 'branching' look

It has a thick stalk like thing in the middle of the branch with strands jetting out both sides like a fern.
 
I'm not convinced it's GHA though. It looks a bit too wirey to be hair algae.
Regardless, if it is easily removable by pinching pieces out then it's not too tough to manage.
 
Some type of gha or turf maybe. I have had bryopsis twice in my qt tank from different frag shipments & I agree with the others, that's not a bryopsis in the pic.
