Algal Lookup

Since it isn't apparent to me, and possibly others, that a Algal ID book or online lookup (even better) exhist I have a picture to share.
I see a few things on this rock, and in other places in the tank.
1) Green, looks like moss.
2) Slimy white (not in picture).
3) Feathery white.
4) Bublly pale green, appears to be some sort of filter feeder.
Tank has 8.3ph, 0 Amonia, 0 Nitrites, 0 Nitrate (rather recently), 10 DKH and 1.24 sg.
 
Can you get a bigger pic? It almost looks like a sponge of some sort.
Also for an online algae ID you can try AlgaeBase

There is also a new book out called Reef Invertebrates by Fenner & Calfo that has tons of algae pics that are a great help for ID's.
