Can someone please tell me what this is? The green plant with long threads and slightly feathered at the ends. I got it from rusalty. I actually bought a fire red Macroalgae, but this made its presence known in a couple months of being in my tank. It's growing on the same rock. It's growing about 4-6 inches a week. I like it, but never saw it before, not even snorkeling around the keys. Yes, a juvenile seahorse. I raised a bunch.

Almost looks like bryopsis but it's not.
 
Likely one of the many species of Cladophora.

They do just fine as long as you got nutrients to keep them thriving, it’s not the best looking algae though but it’s a nice green addition to the tank. The only downside is that because it is so dense it can get full of detritus if keep in a low flow area.
