Definitely an algae. Probably a red type IMO.
Let it grow out if you're curious....it'll be easier to ID as it grows.
PhycoKey might help. (https://cfb.unh.edu/phycokey/phycokey.htm)
If you're not that curious, this is the best time to remove an algae that you don't want to spread. Reach in and pluck it from the rock.

Based on the phycokey website I think it's Dumontia. Very cool!! I will bookmark that site. Thank you!
