HELP! Can someone ID this Algae

[Greatwhite24]

I have a RSM 250 about 3-4 years old. I have been having this plant or whatever it is growing on the top overflow for months. I keep ripping it out and it keeps growing back. Now I have it growing on some of my rocks. Not sure what this is but it has a blueish color to it. I attached someone pictures of it. Does anyone know what it is or how to get rid of it?

I have used Algefix as I had a small patch and to try it on bubble algae http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=4098

Just follow the easy instructions, I only dosed seven times. I think @Wrangy was the one whom stated don't by the marine one as it is the same as the other.....just labeling.

Definitely bryopsis unfortunately and it's the worst to deal with You could definitely give algaefix a go as it does work occasionally but the only sure-fire way to get it is Kent Tech-M and raising the Mg to 1300-1500ppm and keeping it there till it's all dead and gone.

Does the Kent Tech-M kill it for good or just while your doing with it? I can't get any information if it is just masking it or killing it

I tried tech m but it didn't work for me but it has worked for some. Good luck, bryopsis is the worse
