This started growing a few weeks ago, didn’t think much of it bc of the Dino’s and hair algae I’m dealing with but it’s continuing to spread. I assume it’s not desirable since nothing else else desirable is growing. Tank was started with dry rock. Added some “live rock” a few weeks ago (a single 10lb piece)

Does it look pink in person?
Can you post a pic under white light?

Here is a better picture, very pink in color. Continues to spread on the Tonga and is now coming in below this clump as well

Could you get a close up pic of just one branch of it?

I'm struggling to see how exactly it's branching, and seeing how would help with possible ID suggestions.

That said, maybe Bonnemaisonia asparagoides or a Dudresnaya sp.?
