Algae ID needed

[AllanPritchard]

Hi all

I have some algae issues and most of it is GHA which I’m dealing with slowly but i have a different algae that is wiry and very hard to pull off rocks but it isn’t fern like.

any ideas, pictures below are of the algae on the side of my vortex mp10 which I removed to get close ups



cheers

My guess would be Chaeto mixed with caulerpa prolifera. I also received some c. prolifera when I purchased a bag of chaeto from LFS— edit: could just be chaeto though! It seems there aren’t many “leaves”

We don’t have chaeto in New Zealand, so either I got lucky somehow or it is something else. It is only growing to about 10mm in length
