Take boiling water and a syringe and shoot it at the stands of bryopsis (yep, right in the tank). You'd be amazed how well this works. If it's truly bryopsis nothing will eat it and it would take a miracle of low nutrients to starve it out in your lifetime (well, maybe not that extreme, but it will feel like it).

Just be careful not to miss and hit your corals or other livestock. Maybe take a finger and chase out all the copepods and whatnot that live inside it. Otherwise you'll see a whole cloud of cooked copepods drift out after you blast it with the boiling water. Do a small patch at a time and wait a day and do the next batch. It will take a day or two for it to dissolve away. If it's really stubborn you might need a couple applications.
