Found in overflow

[Shabalaba]

I found this in my overflow and thought it was an anemone at first. However it is definitely not, and has a squishy consistency with several branching arms from the base. Is it some type of algae? The color is reddish pink and is somewhat transparent on the edges.

Almost looks like a Carnation coral.

It is quite "squishy" feeling. I am quite stumped as to what it could be. Best bet is some type of macro algae, right? Or is there really just no way to tell? I guess I'll throw it in my refugium, or would that be a poor idea..?

Idk but as I said, you can always send it here

I have seen that before. I think it is an algae. I was given a piece and tried to grow it in my refugium but it disappeared. IMO not an easy macroalgae to grow.

Now that you mention it I did see a youtube video with that stuff. It was pretty fast growing. It must like high flow because it was growing on a powerhead. I can't remember what it was called.

Thanks for the info guys. I have it in my refugium now, and I agree that it must like high flow (since it was in my overflow) And medium/high light.
