What is this algae?

I am hoping it's not bryopsis...

WHAT DO I DO!? Do I get a specific fish or invert?

Looks like it bryopsis in no big deal any more just use some Fluconazole. But if its just that patch just pull it out.

I used it in different tanks. Last time I used it was in my 225 when I first set it up and it hasn't been back and that was over a year ago. Never lost any coral or had any problems with it.

Just force fed my brain about 20 articles on it. Hear is what I got
  • Always perform a water change before starting treatment as a symptom of the medicine is increased NO3.
  • Dose your tank with 20mg of Fluconazole per gallon of water for 14 days.
  • Increase lighting in your tank. Reports suggest the amount of light shining into your tank during treatment boosts its success. But go slow with light intensity adjustments.
  • Remove the skimmer cup for the duration of treatment or at least for 3 first days of the treatment, then adjust your skimmer for dry skimming only.
  • Remove your carbon media from the tank and either install new media after treatment or thoroughly sterilize your existing media to prevent reintroducing algae.
  • Purchase the medicine from a reputable marine supply store.

Someone suggested turning all pumps off and trying to remove it with a spoon or siphon. I removed all of algae we will see if it grows back
