I have one zoanthid colony on a branch that has gotten overgrown with algae, and I think it is bryopsis. Can anyone confirm this ID? Here's a full frame photo and a macro zoom:

At the moment it's isolated to this one branch. I'm thinking about removing it from the display tank and treating it with fluconazole as I've read other posts that this is usually effective in eliminating bryopsis.

Any other recommendations?
 
Looks like Bryopsis. I have successfully gotten rid of Bryopsis with Fluconazole and not kill my corals even sps
 
I ended up just dipping the colony in H2O2 solution and it did a great job on the bryopsis. Of course I'll still need to keep an eye on the rest of the tank to see if it pops up elsewhere, but for now things look much better:
