New bloom of very small "leaf like" red algae on some of my rocks and pumps. Looks like tiny versions of Gracilaria Mamilaris Macroalgae that I already have established in my tank but not quite the same. It's not slimy and it doesn't come off very easily. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Top one looks like red dictyota, do the others blow off. Or encrusting?
 
The second picture is coralline algae. The others might be as well, but I've never seen it (coralline) that leaf like shape before.
