Just want to verify, you mean this stuff:



I had this also, had no big problem with it, but when I wanted to put some SPS where this stuff was, I just plucked it out. Can't you just grab it and remove it? Just wondering...

Researching things I found this: Similar to chaeto, few animals will eat Halimeda except for one echinoderm, an urchin called Clypeaster rosaceus

The black / brown stuff is dying, just pluck it off.

Actually, once a week pluck all that you can see... a couple major harvests will kill it. Halimeda doesn't tolerate heavy pruning.
