Help with Red Macro Algae Identification

[gordonj1]

Can anyone help me out with identifying some of this macro algae. I know the green bubble algae is a pest I need to get out.

Any thoughts on the red bubble algae or the red leaf like algae? Are they pests or helpful algae? The red bubble has really taken off in the tank. I was going to treat this rock with H2O2, but it has an AWESOME blue sponge growing on it I don't want to hurt.

Sorry about bad pics. Learning to use this new underwater camera.

Thanks!!

Pest or not, that red macro algae is VERY cool-looking. The green bubble, not so much. I have some red gracilleria growing out of my marco rock wall that is just awesome-looking. One of the nicest looking things in my tank.

It will spread like any other algae if nutriates get out of control. Had it in may 60 it went crazy due to nutrients out of wack. Got a kole tang and he loved it kept it trimmed back. Turbo's will eat it also.
