Can some help me Id this algae

I don't know what it is, but it looks bad.

I originally thought it was some type of grape caulerpa but I can't find anything that looks like it. So I decided to let someone else with more experience look at it.

maybe a bubble?

wait for kevin.. it looks like a grape to me too. But i have no expertise in algae .... i think it looks badass and would love that in my pred tank

Yea, I woudlnt mind that so much in my fowlr tank. I think emeralds will take out bubble algae, it might take this out too. Im sure with more salt experience could confirm/deny this.

looks like pink grape caulerpa in the mix with some hair algae.

Whatever it is it doesn't look too bad.

EDIT: My track record with looking up algae is not so hot. From the pic provided though, it looks attractive and it looks like a macro of some sort. I, of course, am no biologist nor botanist.

Wow. This algae just grew out of nowhere like this? Id like some of those spors haha that stuff is beautiful looking. Who knows if its harmful though

 

[RobE]

I do like the look of it i just wanted to make sure its not a harmful type and yes it did just grow up out of nowhere. I am in a never ending battle with hair algae with this tank. Here are a couple more pics with a better camera.
