Fuzzy red algae... maybe some type of coraline?

Hello all. I have this fuzzy looking coraline type algae groaning on some rocks... what exactly is it? Just curious. Thanks!

I see coraline but the fuzzy isn't it

Hard to tell by your pics. Looks like you used your phone.... Not promoting this company or anything but "flipper" makes a super handy and inexpensive lens that has orange and yellow filters that allow you to see past the blue haze making your pics way more clear via your phone.... Fuzzy algae....??? Hope its not actually a cyano bacteria. Hows the flow in that particular area?

Hey.. Thanks for the tip - I will look into that. As for the algae it's not cyano.. I have a little of that too but it's waning out.. I don't think it's nuisance algae but I guess it's not a form of coraline either. I think it's the same as this:

Dark Red Algae

I have two types of Algae growing in my tank. Coralline Algae is the first and there is a second I'm not sure what it's called. Would anyone know what this is from the following pictures? Thank you

anyways.. it's been there a while and seems to be spreading slowly but not taking over at all... the flow there is excellent.

Does it look and feel like a sift Brillo pad? Looks like something I’ve battled and it’s a nightmare.
