MacroAlgae ID Help

[CheifReeferNB]

I recently got some live sand and as I’ve ramped up the lights over the past few weeks some sprigs of algae popped up. I’m assuming these are macro algae and was looking for help identifying them!

No idea. Where did live sand come from?

I can bump for you.

The first one looks like my red grape macro when it first sends out a new shoot, before it forms the "grapes"...but just a guess. I'm sure it could be many other things given the stage it is at now.

Red Grape - Botryocladia

ID: Bright Red macro algae found on TBS rock in the summer and early fall. Air filled bladders on red stalks.Tips: Red grapes tend to be easy keepers in a reef tank. Medium to low flow and medium to high light. Fish do like the taste of them!Rated: Reef Safe

It needs to grow out some more before it can be identified I think
