Can you help me identify this algae? It’s only on a couple rocks, I thought it’s bryopsis but I’m not 100% sure. Pulling it off the rocks is difficult but not impossible. The root system holding it down is very strong.

green hair algae
To be honest I was expecting GHA to be the really bright long slimy algae. I had that type growing in my refugium(super bright green, and long slimy algae) I was able to get rid of that by physical removal really easily this stuff(in the pics) is a lot different from what that was. Now I’m curious as to what that stuff was haha....... Thank you Webslinger
