This is some tough algae almost everywhere in frag tank (small reef tank with sand and LR). Most is green with a few similar red/brown tufts. Grows in clumps, not slimy, cannot pull it completely out.
No, nothing from this tank is coming to the swap ;)

GHA- Green Hair Algae

Hydrogen Peroxide dosing works great with it.... just manually remove as much as you can,
 
Thanks for input everybody. Couldn’t find my Algae book by Julian sprung. Gotta research GHA bc I thought I have had that a few times and this is totally different, so now I wonder what that was. Will check out info about bryopsis too.

Bryopsis is more of a fan/fern like structure.... feathery.
