White web on my macroalgae

[jts813]

What is this white web like growth on my red macroalgae? Is it dying?

Can't tell you if it's dying (unlikely IMO) though the white stuff is sponge, which is a harmless filter-feeder

Looks like sponges. The macroalgae itself looks healthy

Oh wow a sponge. Thanks. Learning new things constantly in this hobby. While my red macroalgae is still healthy. The white sponge seems to be overtaking it. How do I get rid of it?

You'd need to manually remove it - given the location of it, it may be easier to just take some uncontaminated pieces of the macroalgae, cut them off, and try to get them growing separately.
