Not hundred percent sure but I think it is bryopsis there is a thread on here that tells you how to get rid of it.

Hi if it is bryopsis then read up on this product fluconazole I have seen some post were ppl were using it to get rid of bryopsis and from what I've read I dose the job with no ill effects on anything else in your reef but as I said read up on it hope this helps.

Well Im going to last it out , I added a UV and am dosing vibrant , and I did a 3 day blackout which seemed to cut it back a it , How long of a break can I take between blackouts as I think they will be effective ?
