Looks like a red Gracileria algae... if you have fish that eat algae (tangs) they'll love it. Not nearly as fast a grower as calupera and it looks nice... Won't hurt anything.

When I first looked I thought it might be Halymenis floresia, then I noticed what looked like little spines and thought it was one of the Hypnea (probably musciformis or cervicornis), then considered it's probably from aqua-cultured rock and went with my favorite Wrightiella blodgettii but there's really not enough branching, then remembered that Heterosiphonia gibbesii is often bright red also, Gracilaria cerevicornis is also found in these areas but it's a lot flatter than that, and finally settled on Eucheuma isiforme.

dawgs, it's a beautiful red algae that a lot of people would kill for. Enjoy!!
