Branching Coralline or ???

[Rick Krejci]

Been trying to ID this algae, but have not been able to find out what it is. It's slow growing, but it does grow, especially now that I removed my urchins. Light pink, about the same color as normal coralline. Super fine branches...this whole image is about 2" across. It's right next to shelf coralline that grew from the rock (about a 6" shelf). Been in my tank for about 2 years on a Tampa Bay live rock.

My first thought is that it's a type of Amphiroa
