I've had my tank going for just over a year now and all of a sudden, this guy shows up. It's about the size of a nickel. I didn't really research this myself yet but I know someone will ID it right away on here. Thanks in advance.

Ya, sorry it was with my phone's camera. I'll try to take a better one. I really don't think it's bubble algae based on pictures I've seen of the stuff, but I really don't know for sure.
 
It's harder to describe but it's in the center of that picture. That top layer is paper thin with a purple/green color. There are a few pieces lower left of it that are starting to form but they are curled over.
 
It looks similar to pics I've seen of mushroom corals but I don't see how it could be that because it just appeared. It looks "leafy".
 
I'm guessing some sort of red macroalgae. Looks cool. Leave it alone for awhile and see what happens.

GL.
