Is this hitchhiker Halimeda?

Added some macro to my 10g tank (loving how it looks) and there is a hitchhiker on the shaving brush. Is it Halimeda?

Looks like Halymenia Floresia. Is it slippery to the touch & gelatinou.

One of the most popular and easily obtainable species of Halymenia for the aquarium. It features striking flame shaped blades and pinkish/red coloration. Like all species of Halymenia, it is gelatinous and smooth in texture and very delicate. It is most often collected as free floating specimens or attached to harvested live rock as it grows quite deep. Single plants can grow very large and reach heights of almost 20" or more. H. Floresia requires good water quality and moderate to high flow to maintain its slippery fleshy blades. In the aquarium they will seldom attach so they must be anchored or allowed to tumble as free floating specimens. H. Floresia is very palatable and is readily eaten by both Tangs and Angel fish.

Sorry, I meant the little guy at the base of the shaving brush in the first picture.
