Can anyone identify what this possibly is? Its red, plating, fairly transparent and soft to the touch. I took the coral frag that was mounted to the plug off, so nevermind the glue in the middle.

What does it look like under white lights? Almost seems like the start of scroll algae?

Looks more like Ulva under the whites
I’m inclined to agree with you. Interesting that it looked red under blues. Is that common with Sea Lettuce? I’ve never had any sea lettuce in a tank before, so I’m unfamiliar with its characteristics.

It always did when I had it in my refugium
