I didn't know much about it, so I started reading, here is a good article. Apparently when done right, everything but the bryposis is unaffected.

I’ve used fluconazole to get rid of bryopsis successfully. No downsides.
My notes from my research reading up the details (and what I did):
20 mg/gallon (1 capsule per 10 gallons)
Water change before treatment
Manually remove as much as possible
Remove from capsule
Pre-dissolve in water, add to tank or sump
1-time dose
Carbon reactor off for 14 days
Skimmer on with cup off for 7-14 days
UV left on or off
30% water change in 14 days
No effect on chaeto, fish, inverts
