*update* I've started to question whether it's a halymenia or something else , it's grown 7 inches since my last post and is forked at the base with two fairly broad blades.

Some species of red algae are easy to identify, others difficult to distinguish ... for me, this specimen looks like some of the Cryptonemia sp., but I may be wrong. Uma possibilidade seria esta:

Thank you :) Yeah it could very well be a Cryptonemia :) It looks much more similar to it at least than the halymenia and kallymenia I have seen so far.
