Looks like the popular and hardy Pom pom ogo (Gracilaria hayi). This is a slow-growing red macroalgae and is not very edible to herbivores, since it is barely calcified. Lower lighting will bring out deeper shades of red from the algae.

Oh wow that’s beautiful! Ugh, I hope my LFS have in some red and green macros when I go - Attempting a Macro corner in my reef. I assume it’s a low light macro then if it gets lighter under high light?Looks like the popular and hardy Pom pom ogo (Gracilaria hayi).
