I am trying to ID a few different things growing on my lr. All are plant like.

The first looks like red hair. I had green hair algea for awhile but this is different looking. The strands are thicker and it only grows on the rock closest to my lights. Grows fast and they stick straight up.

The second unknown is also red but looks more like a plant. They have what look like leaves and branch. Grows faster then the first, but doesn't spread as much.

The third is green and looks like small patches of grass. Not very much of this one yet, but every now and then I find new spots its coming in at. Slow growing and seems to be growing in small holes of the rock.

I would take a pic, but my camera is MIA. Ive checked numerous sites and forums, but no luck. Any ideas what these are?

The second ID I am looking for looks like caulerpa, but its red instead of green. But the first and third unknowns don't look like any of those pictures. I'll have to find a camera to take a picture.
