Look like green Cyanobacteria.
 
Distinguishing it from look-a-likes: GHA is not coarse or wiry, it should break apart easily when pulled, and should lose form quickly when removed from water. If you can make out a root structure, or a stiff branching structure it is probably not GHA.

Bryopsis: some types are hair like looking in clumps, but have some fern like structure to them
