Neon Type of Algae?

[drewsreef]

Hello everyone.
So today i came home and did some weekly maintenance in my aquarium. I found something that i have never seen before. I saw the small neon stains on my rock. At first i thought my torches were falling apart but when i went to blow it out with my turkey baster it was attached to the rock. So i tried to scrubb it off with the turkey baster and blow it off at the same time but it doesnt come off. I tried to get some really sharp pics but couldn't. It almost looks like shredded carrots glued onto my rock. Anyone seen this before?

Funny color and shape for alga. Are you sure it is a plant?

I'd guess it's a either a weird color/variety of coralline algae or dying coralline, which I think tends to turn odd colors.

looks like some type of anemone or something similar

I do have coralline but its seems to be growing fine but not sure maybe it is dying?
