    Default Anyone good at identifying algae?

    Please help me identify these two types of algae on my live rock. I tried to remove the green hair algae but it is really attached! The other is a dark red algae growing over my Coraline algae. When you look close to it there are little plant like sprouts coming out. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks

    pic #1... turtle weed- ok if kept managed.
    pic #2...hard to say, but continue to watch it's growth... if it begins to become unmanagable, remove it by scrubbing with a toothbrush while syphoning loose pieces out of the water. IMO, looks like a beneficial red macro and may just prove to be something envied. Post pics as it continues to grow and there may be a solid ID soon.
    There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying
