This algae is growing on my sand and I'm trying to identify what it is. Any help is appreciated, tank is 9 months old.

To me, it looks like red slime algae. If I'm right, here are some steps you can take to get rid of it:
Do water changes more frequently.
Siphon the affected areas when doing a water change.
Do not overfeed fish.
If you can, increase water circulation throughout th aquarium.
