Just noticed this popping up on my sand bed in a few places as well as the seems where my glass connects together. Is this Bryopsis (from what I’m reading i really hope not) or some other kind of algae? Tank is about 3 months old and was started with live rock/sand is super clear otherwise. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hard to say without a more clear photo. but looks like it.

I had Bryopsis, I dosed reefflux and completely got rid of it. Just follow instructions to a T. Only do it as a last resort if it is Bryopsis. But it most definitely works wonders.

Appreciate it. They are little fern looking guys, so figured that’s what i was dealing with. Did Reefflux harm anything else in your tank? Have 3 fish, a cleaner shrimp and about 10 crabs/snails in there

You'd be fine IMO. Just follow instructions perfectly. If anything under dose.
