Crap! I think we have have that! I pulled out the piece with it on it
and stuck it in with the Tangs. I told them they can't eat 'till they eat
their veggies, but they won't eat it! Now I feel bad 'cause I haven't
fed them for 3 days....
I can take out the piece and scrub it with a toothbrush (I'm sure Rob
won't mind), but I can't leave it out, 'cause it's got my favorite color
of coral on it....Anything else I can do? I can leave it in the predator
tank for a while, but the lights bite in there.....

Suzy,
here is what I would do.... nothing. I like byopsis and I'm not sure why people try to get rid of it. I would grow it. Mark use to have a on in his 75 gal and it looked great.

It is way pretty. But what if it grows over my favorite coral?

Suzy, the only way I got rid of it was to constantly remove it manually. After a couple of months it was finally gone. It, by the way was overgrowing some nice mushroom corals I had. If it is only on one rock, I would attack it now before it gets out of hand.

What if I stick it in the sump? Then it would suck out the nutrients
it likes and there wouldn't be any leftover for the reminants in the
reef?
There's one patch on a rock with a coral I like a lot (one of my
favorites), one patch on a rock with a coral that's just OK (that one
can stay in the aggessive tank), and one patch on the overflow box
at the top away from everything. I think I'll try to manually remove it
(Thanks for the toothbrush,Mr sexy) from the cool rock, let it grow
(for now) in Killer's tank (AKA Ouday), and just watch it on the
overflow box.
I'm sorta afraid to mess with it. I know when I've tried to manually
remove aptasias and bubble algaes, they spit spores everywhere! But
if I don't bug 'em, they really aren't an issue. Think Bryopsis is like
that? What in the bryopsis world equals a peppermint/emerald crab?

I jost want to second Mark's thought on adding food. Start dosing with Phytoplanlton and let everything grow. It is so easy to start grwing your own culture. It has greatly increased the life in my refugium and my corals grow much better as well.
