Is this bryopsis?

Poorlyclownfish · Feb 5, 2020

Green algae type thing growing on rock work. Quite tough and stuck into rocks.

Heard bryopsis can be a pain but responds well to fluconazole. Just wanted second opinion before I start dosing.

Thanks

I would second it and say no.
Trust me, I’ve had it and that doesn’t look even close. For many years people didn’t know how to treat it. The way I did was with “Vibrant”. Did the trick!
