Not sure if this is bryopsis or GHA? Any thoughts? Thanks, Dave

thanks and thanks, hoping to get this crap out before those are not such nice zoas anymore...

Any recommendations? I am getting a CUC targeted at GHA this week from reef cleaners and have gone back to vodka dosing so hopefully i will get a handle on it before it is too late. I do have a GFO reactor running, too.

elbow grease works great... put your hand in.. pull it out and dont let any of it go in the tank... turn your circulation off and pull it off... do this until it's gone... periodically every couple of days

Ive had good luck removing gha with long nose foreceps. You can clamp it way down near the rock, give a twist and youll get nice clumps. Works for bryopsis to. Yours definitly looks like gha
