I was reading the thread on bryopsis and different ways to remove it.
I have had success by spreading superglue gel on the tufts of it and encasing it, then going back and removing the hardened superglue. It removes any that was embedded in the rock pores.
I started using this method to remove aptasia. I stick the superglue nozzel into the hole where the aptasia has retreated, squeeze some in, allow it to harden and remove it, the encased aptasia comes out along with the plug.
Don't knock it till you try it.
 
And here is removal of bubble algae if anyone is interested. It works.
