Hi Reefers,
I have the tiniest amount of bryopsis starting to grow. 95% sure it is bryopsis anyways. It is much more stiff than hair algae.
I'm hesitant to treat the tank because I just don't like putting any chemicals or additives into it. I'm a pretty firm believer that in most instances additives and treatments are often band-aids for a larger problem. So, I'm debating treating with fluconazole. There is just so little of it that it almost feels like overkill. But, on the other hand I can see how it could blow up and grow out of control. It might be better to nip it in the bud. It is definitely a hitchhiker and came in on the frag plug. As far as I can tell so far it has not spread off of that plug. It is harassing my zoas on the plug. They are not happy.
What would you do?

I appreciate any advice.
Thanks!
