I did a partial water change yesterday and in the process brushed off some rock and conch shells in the tank where this plant was growing the most. However, I brushed it off in a bucket of the aquarium water I took out for the water change. I thought putting your live rock in fresh water would...

I'm not sure this is Byropsis. It's difficult to find close-up photos of this form of algae to compare mine to. Byropsis appears to have a much thicker stem and a much darker green color. At least according to internet photos I've found like this one: The stuff in my tank does not appear to...
