This algae exploded in growth recently, and I am currently treating the rock with fluconazole in quarantine. It is a rather beautiful algae, but I don’t want to keep it around. The rock came from gulfliverock.com in May 2021.

Could anyone please help ID this algae?

it’s one of them beautiful species with a hard to find specific name, I would assume that it belongs to the bryopsidales.
I’ve tried to grow some before unfortunately it melted fairly fast.
 
I kept it for almost a month, but my urchin occasionally eats it. Thus resulting in broken strands of this algae floating through the tank.
