Is this a desirable algae?

[littlefishy]

The zoa on this frag are the only ones not opening. Is this a pest algae or something else? The frag is indomaricultured from Live Aquaria.

It looks like bryopsis

Does it look like this, kinda like a fern on it's ends?

I’d dump that if possible. Def looks like bryopsis

That's exactly what it looks like. So pull the frag and getting rid of it is the best thing to do?

It’s a pest algae and difficult to remove. Not to mention nothing will eat it! You can try using magnesium or Fluconazole to get rid of it or hydrogen peroxide.
