hard to tell from the pic, but looks like Bryopsis to me. Maybe some others will chime in..

If it is floppy and folds over on itself, then it is bryopsis. If it is firm, them it's something else. Sorry I don't know what it is, but I have the firm kind in my tank and it is very slow growing and doesn't hurt anything.

Accelerated form of green hair algae becoming bryopsis
My best defense has been removing by hand and treating with Vibrant liquid
