Don't know about HA, but Kent Tech M at 1600 will kill Bryopsis.
Lights out for 3 days will kill HA

Lawn mower Gobi eats HA, look at your perimeters, high nutrients in the main reason for Algie growth

As previously stated, it will kill bryopsis, but not sure about the ha.
To kill the bryopsis you need to get the mg level to around 1800ppm.

I didn't have clams when I did the treatment, but didn't notice any snail die off.

I wouldnt' go up to 1800 on the Mag, I've never heard of anyone letting it get that high.
