Don't think it's that. It's not soft, very ruff

An easy way to clarify, whether it is Bryopsis or not, is to look at the structure of a stalk in a microscope ... Bryopsidaceae (including Bryopsis, Derbesia, etc ...) do not present true cell divisions, Cladophoraceae (including Cladophora, Chaetomorpha, etc ...) have true cell divisions:

Bryopsis sp

Derbesia sp

Cladophora sp
