Red leaf ID

[bennett85]

So I would like to know if anyone could ID this red leaf thing. They are about 1/8th" to 3/8th" in size and are slow growing. The leaf thing waves is the current and it very thin. It is starting to grow over a rock but not on or to close to any coral. I would appreciate any ID help. O yea and ammonia is 0 and nitrates and nitrites are also 0.

Possibly some type of Rhodophyte....red macro algae.

So if it is Rhodophyte red macro algae is that good, bad or what? Also is there a fish, snail or crab that I should look for that will eat it that is reef safe and can be housed in a 75gallon tank?

So anyone know if this stuff is bad? The last few days I can see a lot more growing. I think I need something to eat it but have no idea what will.
