My buddy was getting out of the hobby and I got a lot of cheap coral from him. Some of the frags have this on them... Looks like calupera maybe?

Looks like an acan to me.

 

[HomeGrownReefer]

Not the acan, the green algae

I should have worded it better, sorry.

 

[slate744]

Lol sorry

 

[HomeGrownReefer]

Anyone?

 

[reefwatcher]

+1 yes it's calupera

 

[HomeGrownReefer]

How could I kill that off without harming the acans?

 

[Nammy]

Pull the rock out and scrap everything off except the coral Even a hungry tang would help

 

[HomeGrownReefer]

I did that, was wondering about maybe a coral dip method but I think it's slowly going away

Sure its going away? If your system runs very low on nutrients it will kill it off, if its Caulerpa.
but if its Bryopsis, thats a different story. Keep an eye on it, real close.

A buddy gave it to me who had bad phosphate problems.. I just tested my water today and it's 0's across the board. I'm starting to think it could be bryopsis. Any recommendation on getting rid of it?

I had one frag come to me with a little Bryopsis. I manually pulled it off and then completely covered the area in super glue gel. Never has come back (knock on wood) and it's been about 9 months.

I didn't even think to use glue, what a good idea. Thanks man
