Is this some form of Hair Algae?

looks like feather culepra (SP) it is a macro but can be plague in growth if not kept in check .. can also go asexual
 
Bryopsis, I don't think that is culerpa. Feather culerpa still has runners and grape like structures on it. I don't see any of that in the pic.

Bryopsis is very difficult to get rid of. IF it is on a single rock yank it out of the tank now. You do not want to try and pull it out in the tank it spreads like wild fire.
 
Yeah the solution to killing this off is Kent Marine Mag Tech-B I believe there is some thing in it if you dose a high enough amount it kills off the Bryopsis...
