Macro algae ID

Hello- does this picture looks the same? I ordered "red branching algae" and looks like I received something different. What do you reefers think? Thanks!

Red Branching Algae is not a specific name, but a generic name and could refer to any red colred algae that has branches. So although it may not look exactly like the picture (much of what we buy online doesn't) you pretty much got what you ordered.

If you have any tangs, rabbitfish or other herbivores, they will eat this right ut.
