can anyone id this ?

cool looking stuff . just guessing it's an algae

looks like it may be brown wafer algae.
my advice is PULL IT NOW! i made the mistake of
thinking it looked cool too. now it's over running
my rocks & corals. i've found nothing that will stop it.
my tang, emerald crabs, limpets, assorted snails, hermits,
etc. won't touch it. now it's running rampant. i'd
rather have the bryopsis back

Mark,

Is it very hard? Could it be a plating type of coralline red algae? It looks a little too red to be any type of brown algae to me.

kevin , it doesn't feel like coralline , its kinda flexable . it is really red . i was going to take it out last night but i decided to wait and this morning alot of it was gone . what i read of wafer algae is that nobody seems to be able to find anything to eat it . so i don't know what this stuff is
