There is this algae growing on a Turbo Snail shell, I’m not too sure if it’s macroalgae or some single celled algae. Could someone please ID this for me?

Does it look like codium? Here is a reference photo

bryopsis maybe? Seems to have the fern looking appearance in the video.

It doesn’t seem to be Bryopsis or Codium. At first I thought it was just hair algae but it is a lot thicker then traditional hair algae, which I have growing in my sump. It has a blade-like appearance and is thicker then hair algae and looks like sea grass, there are some larger blades mixed in between the smaller blades, the largest blades are just under an inch in length. Here is a clearer video. (Sorry, it’s the clearest I could get )
 
some type of turf would be my guess
