Question Bryopsis

I have Bryopsis in my tank. I have been pulling it out. At first I tried scrubbing it off with a toothbrush in another bucket, rinsing that off then back into the tank, but that did not work.

What are your ideas for getting rid of it? Natural methods available? (ie. critters) Keep in mind this is for the tank in my sig (so I can't have a tang for instance, lol *runs from tang police for mentioning it* )

Things tried in my tank so far and/or ideas I have read about:

So far I have heard dosing Mg ( I don't know how without nuking things, I am a noob), lawnmower blenny (have one, he likes film but not bryopsis), emerald crab (not sure if these would eat my polyps too?), copperband butterfly (too big for my tank), lettuce nudibranch (heard they blow into powerheads and die), cooking the rock (I have coral on it and I don't want the coral to die and I really don't want to try this option), and macro algae (I have some in my tank, some red stuff from the LFS that looks cool and some green stuff that looks like wacky alien mushroom-like caulerpa: if it grows enough I am hoping it will take out a lot of the nutrients--I like the idea of a fuge but don;t know how to do that without wrecking my BC14), snails (so far they won't eat it), keep pulling it off (don;t think that is gonna be a long term solution).

Nothing has reached epidemic proportions or anything, but I would like to be on top of this. What has worked for you? Pros/cons? Details, details
