Am I safe to assume that this is Bryopsis? My tangs won't touch this stuff so I'm assuming so.

Sure is. It's rough to get rid of but it can be done. I recommend Kent Tech-M and raising your Mag levels to 1400+ for a two week period. Good luck

It's a little low right now so that probably isn't helping. I'll start raising it today anything else I can do to kill it? Never had to deal with it before.

I would go the Tech-M route first. Is that doesn't work then there are other things that you can do.

I also removed the rock it is on and put hydrogen peroxide in a syringe and squirted it directly on the algae. Let it sit for a couple of minutes and then rinse off with tank water. Just make sure you have good filtration and your skimmer is working to remove it as it's dying and don't over do the peroxide.
