unknown growth

[safeuerwehr]

just made room for some new additions to the tank and came across some plant looking thing growing on my live rock where i was not able to see...its red in color about 4-5" in lenght...has branch like growth....kinda looks similar to sargassum...can anyone identify it and is it something i should worry about or can i leave it in my tank.....

I would post it in general reefkeeping...you may get an answer faster.

looks like dragon's breath macro algae - good to have ;)

thanks hobo....i did a lil research and think i narrowed it down to Acrosorium but not really sure...but anyway it looks really good in the tank so i will leave it for now, but will monitor its growth....if anyone has any more input regarding this macroalgae please post....thanks....
