Before it gets worse I would pull the rocks with it and poor a bit of hydrogen peroxide over the algae. On you could soak them in a bowel with tank water and 25% HP. The HP soak will kill brittle stars and copepods as well. They do better in a rinse.
 
That has the texture of bryopsis but I haven’t seen red like that. See what the others say
