Multiple algae need to be ID

Hi member, could you help to identify those macros that attached?
Most of them are wild caught.

Thanks

Very pleasing to the eye! The 1st is a red Graciela (spelling) ? I think. The rest I don't know.

I did tried to search for gracilaria, but doesn't seem so.

I found out another is scroll algae, but google only found blue scroll, doesn't able to find any info as brown scroll though.

First pic, dragons breath?
Second and third could be Sea lettuce. Not sure on the fourth.

1- gracilaria

2- dictoya ( probably best to get rid asap as very invasive)

3- scroll algae

4- halimeda

Thanks for the ID.
But since I intended to make this as a macroalgae tank. I think I would let the dictoya to seat longer.

Actually there is 1 more algae that I yet couldn't ID accordingly.
