Found this in the refugium, floating around. What can it be?

do you have pictures of the algae in the sump? hard to tell without it being in the water, or it being in a clear container. does resemble GHA (green hair algae).

I must mention that it stayed over the weekend in the blue container so it got a bit mushier.

seems like regular green hair algae
Thanks!
It's quite a new aquarium, and the light cycle is a little on the dark side. But given the fact that it only appeared in the refugium, where the light is strong, i guess i shouldn't worry too much.
