Any idea on an ID

[DDenny]

Think this is an algae but not sure. It doesn’t move or retract when touched so not a spaghetti worm. Thinking about pulling that frag and dipping in Hydrogen Peroxide for 2 minutes this afternoon. To try and kill the algae unless there is abetter way. Have only seen it on this one frag. To me it looks like red wiry turf algae.

It’s a red caulerpa and can grow quickly. Pull by hand and remove. Tangs eat this stuff like salad

Thank you for the ID. I will pull the frag out and remove by hand. Would love a tang but I would be surrounded and shot on sight by the Tang Police if I put on in this 4g tank hahahaha. I was more worried if it was nuisance algae.

I know it’s small but I don’t see the bubbles like caulerpa usually have could it is be a red gracilaria type?
