Haven’t found anything online that looks like this. It started growing on a dead frag plug months after the coral died. Kind of looks like this but doesn’t. https://coralsanonymous.com/products/copy-new-red-macroalgae-i4

Pictures under white lights would be very helpful in identifying or attempting to identify this algae.

It looks very similar to Gracilaria Corticata, but the frawns you have are more tubular than the typical Gracilaria. It's more likely that it's a red variant of Gracilaria Salicornia. or as @ISpeakForTheSeas said, Botryocladia pseudodichrotoma.

I hope that helps!
