Byropsis ID????

Got a frag from a reputable vendor... a week later I pulled this off the plug...

Please tell me this is not Byropsis.

If it is, it's still in my frag tank, so it hasn't spread like wildfire yet... what should I doo????

Another question...

If there is some remaining on the frag plug, is there something I can dip the plug in to kill it?

It is btypos is. Get the coral off the plug and dip the frag plug in a 50% H2O2 solution

So another question.....

If this is in my frag tank, what are the chances that it makes it to the display?

The frag tank drains into a large cheato fuge, then into my return sump. It passes through filter socks and floss before hitting the return pumps.

I have had it before, but I just shut the tank down and acid/bleach dipped the rocks. This tank I can't/don't want to shut down and as it sits, there is zero pests in my display and zero algae. I'd like to keep it that way... lol

Looks like bryopsis. I just finished dealing with it in my display tank.

FWIW, it never made it to my sump. I only had it in my display. It took about a month for me to get rid of it all by dosing Kent Tech M and spot dosing it with hydrogen peroxide.

I'm going to tear apart the frag tank tonight. Scrape as much off as possible from the plugs, dip the plugs in H2O2, throw away the old egg cate and build a new rack. Then scrape the sides and bottom of the tank and do a 100% water change in the frag tank.

See if I can curb this now before it gets out of control.
