I got rid of it using Justin Credible's Hydrogen peroxide treatment.

Just to clarify Gresh, was this systemic dosing or just dipping? I'm trying to find the protocol but no luck.

Assuming a stocked sps tank (that tolerate H2O2 poorly):

Amounts are for 3% strength peroxide.
Week 1: 1ml per 30 gallons per day
Week 2: 1 ml per 20 gallons per day
Week 3: 1 ml per 10 gallons per day
Week 4: 1 ml per 8 gallons per day
Week 5: 1 ml per 5 gallons per day

My note: hydrogen peroxide decays pretty quickly. You'll probably want a fresh container.

Is it possible for you to get a close up picture of the stuff ?

I added 2 urchins so far they haven't touched the stuff. Fish ignore it. It's also been 2 full weeks and no effect at all using reef flux.
No thining or change in color as previous times I've used it.

Fluconazole likely won't work from what I've read and experienced since it's not macroalgae, it's cyanobacteria. I tried to get some pictures but my glass isn't the cleanest:

Again no holdfast really, comes off with a toothbrush.

The electric Rubbermaid scrubber we were talking about works well on stuff like that too
