Bryopsis. Get that out fast, it's a pain to deal with.

Imo it’s not bryopsis as bryopsis is more fernlike and not iridescent. but it’s something I can’t identify

I had some that had a blue iridescent look to it and it was definitely bryopsis. Going through some old photos, this is what it looked like in my tank.

This is an experimental tank so no worries and it doesn’t look like Bryopsis. You can see the Bryopsis is the yellow circle and it doesn’t exhibit any light refracting properties and has a totally different structure.

Agree with yellow circles is in fact bryopsis . Hope someone who’s more familiar can identify what your concerned with in the red circle
