Is is slippery to the touch?

Halymenia floridana looks somewhat like that.​

Think you might’ve hit it! Thanks! It’s very slippery.. I was using a baster to scrap/suck the bubble algae and accidentally started sucking up the red algae. That’s how slippery it is! And it’s directly next to move return line and that site said it likes high flow. Very interesting! Thanks again!

I wish I had it sprouting in my systems. Where did your live rock come from?
