    the red turf algae is more like a hair agae or also known as cotton candy algae

    the red turf algae is basically just cleaning up the excess nutrients and this would be where you would want to skim a little more aggressively maby cut back on lighting if you can and food supply all the normal methods of battling nuisance algae
    I have been reefing from 08-2007 till 5-2011

    reef tanks are like wifes you have to give them some attention every now and then

    Thanks to Slapshot's suggestion, I'm getting a hold on that red turf algae. I bought two tuxedo urchins (royal) and they're leaving a nice white rock in their wake. I mean white. I wonder if they're eating the coralline as well. I thought I read that somewhere, that they'll eat that too.
