Algae Id

[Marcus K]

I rebuilt my refugium as it housed the last on my Green Hair Algae problem. My LFS had lots of different Algaes come in with a coral shippment. The red algae is not what I had picked, the one I wanted was more leafy. Not sure what happened but I would like to get some info on these two macro algaes. They both came in attached to rock. I would like to know if these are safe in my refugium? Can they be harvested for my tangs.

Thanks

Does the one on the left have bubbles on it? It kinda looks like my red grape kelp. Not sure about the other one.

The red one on the left does have little bubbles on it. The bubbles that have come off do not see to float. I could not get a better pic of the green one on the right but its tube shape not blades like grass. Almost looks as if it was made out of glass and has cracked through all the way along. Really weird looking stuff.

The green one could be Chlorodesmis fastigiata ? Here's mine
