I might try the peroxide dip. Has anyone else used this method?
I don't have anything but snails, crabs, and lots of pods in the tank currently. So i'm not worried about cooking anything with the boiling water. Its just tough to see the stands, it seems like they are anchored everywhere. I have one rock coated in the stuff in a 4" X 8" patch thats thick as crap. It really took off when I stopped dosing Kent M.

If I remove the light from the tank (theres nothing in there anyways) would it still live? Or would that just bring it back the second there is light on it again?

I tried peroxyde dip for bryopsis and it does go away but it return in a few weeks. I suspect it is deeper in the rock than the peroxyde can get?

Man, I'm thinking of killing these rocks completely with a bleach bath at this point!! I never want to have to deal with it again.

Kent Tech M and GFO from BRS worked for me. At one point I had a full square foot of bryopsis throughout my tank (if you were to add it all up) and now I don't have any.

I had it for about a year in my 180 gal.It began to grow after I started using the NP pellets.At that time I also stopped the uv cause that's what the instructions were.I spent at least 2 hours 2x/wk pulling it off.
Things I did to get rid of it: 1) I have a 12 gal tank running that I use for various things. In it are 3 crabs(a blue legged,a calcinus elegans and an emerald crab). After scrubbing the rocks that I could get out of the main tank(with Coral RX),I put them in the little tank one by one and they did a very good job of eating most of it.They would not eat it if I put them in the big tank. After awhile the bryopsis would start growing again after I had put them back in the 180. 2).I plugged my UV back in. 3) I got my phophates lowered using cyanostarver(foz down). The pellets didn't do anything,although I still have a small amount of them running.Also use GFO. 4)I switched to Kent magnesium.(1350) 5)I got a long spined urchin,3 tuxedos,and a bunch of snails. 6)But the very best were 6 lettuce nudibranch(slugs) that I got from the Reef Shoppe.It took Kelly awhile to get them in but they sure did the trick. Unfortunately they have all died cause there wasn't anything left for them to eat. I still get abit on my powerheads and on the overflow,but nothing like it was.

did the Tech-M, knocked it back completely then started to see again after a few months (and now with cyano) as bad as before. Changed my MH bulbs, still manually working on small patches but seems grow has slowed to almost nothing.
A pincushion urchin (similar here) I picked up seems to avoid it
