Has anyone tried this for bryopsis.

I cut a piece of 3 mil contractor bag and used rubble rock to hold it in place over two spots in my 30 gal Peninsula tank. My plan is to leave it there for 3 to 5 days. This way I don't have to black out my entire tank. And I'm not sure I want to try to raise magnesium levels especially with my RBTA. But if this don't work I just might have to. I would just take the rocks out that have it and scrub them but its just too much of a pain and my rbta is on that one. Just curious if anyone else had tried this and had luck, or if it raises any red flags to experts.

Keep us updated on how it works. Dealing with bryopsis for a while now myself, and, nothing gets rid of it (tech-m included). It's a tough algae. I'd leave it blocked out longer than 5 days to attempt to kill it.

Will do. Maybe a week then?

So get a small one. They aren't going to outgrow your tank in the short time it would take them to eradicate it.

What about my corals aren't they nippers.

No.

With caution. I figure more often than not they nip at algae around the polyps and this bothers the corals so people just say they bit the actual polyp. Although there are plenty of stories out there where foxfaces did actually eat a few corals. I've never had issues with them though
Your plan to kill of the bryopsis sounds like a good, but I agree, give it some extra time.

I have had a spotted rabbit fish plow through mushroom corals. No algae at all In the area...just chowing down directly on the coral tissue. To say these supposed herbivores don't eat coral isn't true. I've had tangs eat a healty welso down to the skeleton years ago.

So that means that the genus is not herbivorous, right? One specimen that goes rogue doesn't set the standard. The chances of that happening are incredible, you should play the lottery
