It looks like the red algea (what he calls it) I have some in my fuge and it is a very slow grower. I have heard that tangs like to eat it so I guess if you have tangs and it is still there this may be wrong/

Yes its a macro algae as opposed to being a micro algae.

No idea what kind of macro though. Could be Anotrichium barbatum?
