I've beat it before & I'm beating it again right now. Add a Sea hare, he'll amaze you. Establish & maintain a significant clean up crew. Keep the maintenace up, attack phosphates both exsisting & future build up.

better hope you don't kill too much of that "unwanted macro" if you get yerself a sea hare though...unless you want to rent him out after the problems "fixed".

Sailfin Tang and a Fox face worked for me, along with snails etc... Phosphates and Nitrates should be addressed of course.

I have a sea hare ( or had one. never saw it after add to tank, I have 300+ pounds of rock) but sea hares' are more parshall to Derbersia than Bryopsis.
I've been thinking of getting a rabbit fish but tangs wil not eat bryopsis even it starving, I should know ...I'm the Tangman LOL! Check out the avatar hes about 6 years old and 8 inches long
I'm also working on the nitrates and phosphates, even though my brand new salfert test kits read zero
