Good Day!

I have been growing this for years but only after moving to a new tank has this started to pop!

now I want to propagate this algae to another side of the tank and I was wondering if anyone can help me identify and give me some tips to propagate this algae successfully

Thanks they do look quite similar but I’m still struggling to understand how to propagate this successfully, do I just cut a piece of the stem with a leaf on it?

Yes just as any other macro algae it will grow a new plant.
