The hair algae you'll want to remove.
The other is Codium A neat macro algae.

Codium, no. Its grown agriculturally as its edible by humans, and is easily available for purchase for display refugiums.

The turf or hair algae there is a bit different story, you'll want to scrub that out and make sure you have enough herbivores. if the rock is easy to get out you can use a light tank water with peroxide mix for the scrub and rins in tank water. Easy to to on the next water change.
 
IMO...all algae is bad in except in the fuge where all algae is good.
Haha, beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose. The codium is a good one for seahorses. And my display fuge..
