Macro Algae ID (3D drawing)

[ADHybrid]

Sorry for not having a real pic guys ( still dont have a digital cam) but I tried to draw the best pic that I could of this algae. It has no "leaves" just tubes with a fatter bulb at each tip. Its a DEEP red and feels firm. I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of algae it is, what helps it best to grow, and any additional info.

You may want to check this page for hitchhikers and algae ID. http://www.reefs.org/hhfaq/pages/main_pages/faq_algae.htm

Your incredibly detailed 3D rendering suggests it might be this http://www.reefs.org/hhfaq/pages/picture_pages/faq_halymenia.html

i have this same thing...except it is dark green...I have not been able to id it yet. It is not any of the ones on the previous link. Any ideas? I also have this red/purple algae(a very tiny piece) that is stuck to a snail shell.

Ya, I was unable to ID from the link either, but thanx anyways for the link Silk . I plan on posting a REAL picture in the near future and perhaps send to to Dr. Ron or any of the other apropriate sections. Thanx for all your help guys!
