It’s not bryopsis. That’s green and look like a fern.

I’d go with a slimy diatom or dino.
 
Dinoflagellates. I’m not sure what your nutrient export system looks like, but I would try to get ahead of the outbreak by feeding less, skimming wet, running some GFO, manual removal with a turkey baster and some small frequent water changes. Do your best not to change too much too quick as it can stress your inhabitants, and then you’ll have another issue to deal with. Good luck.
