Looks like some form of hair algae or bryopsis. Typically this is a nuisance algae. If you can remove the rock and scrub it in a saltwater bath, it will go a long way to preventing the entire tank from getting over run (which can happen quickly). Also check your nitrate and phosphate levels.
 
GHA, check your nutrients;)
 
Isn't go with maidens hair but the look of it.
Pull some off. Is it firm and stuck to the rock? A turf alge or maidens hair. Squishy ? Prob a Gha

But sombody there seems to like it.
