Okay I am transferring over my 65 gallon to my new 120 thew only issue is I have an outbreak of bryopsis algae and very small outbreak of red cyno something that might be coming from my refugium. I know I will be giving my live rock a Hydro Peroxide bath but what about the corals some of them have bryopsis algae on them. What can I do about that and the rocks that have coral and bryopsis algae I don't want to bring it in the tank like I did my 65 from another rock.
 
I have not found the right kind of sea hare that will eat bryopsis algae the 2 I got did not touch it and starved to death in a couple of days. some of my sps and lps have bryopsis algae near there base. What about Coral revive or RX dip will they do anything to the bryopsis algae?
 
If your SPS has it near the base, I would consider just cutting it above the algae line and you're done with it. Then you can try to dip the base in peroxide, and if you have issues it doesn't matter. Depending on the LPS as long as it's on the skeleton you could probably just get it off with a toothbrush or something similar.

This is what I would recommend, I am fighting a nasty bout of derbesia, and while peroxide knocks it back, it does not kill it outright. After a few weeks, little shoots start to pop back up on the rock.
I've given up on the toothbrush as the sole worker and now brush it then glue over it.
 
Chemipure elite knocked mine out. Run the first batch for 48hrs changed it out and added new bags,and watched it all disappear in a matter of a month.
