Macroalgae Help

[lifeoffaith]

I don't have a picture yet, so forgive me there. I will try to get one later. I picked up some macroalgae in a clump (around 4 inches by 2 inches) at my LFS. They said it was shaving brush macroalgae, but it doesn't have a stalk like I'm used to seeing on shaving brush macroalgae. The "leaves" look like grass and go out in all directions, with the bottom being flat. They are very calcerous as well. The color is a dark green. I can't find it anywhere on Google. It just looks like a big clump of grass sitting on the sand bed, but is much more stiff than say a maidens hair, green hair algae, etc.

Without a pic there is no telling what it is. Could be a big chunk of bryopsis lol.

Anyone have experience with Cladophora? I'm not sure which of the Cladophoras it is, but I'm pretty sure it is one of them.

I have one variety of Cladophora and I love it. spreads very slowly and has not be an issue - if anything, it's a problem because other macros like to grow over it. Tons of pods and my tang enjoyed snacking on it.
The big ball of green in the middle is my Clado lawn:

That's what mine looks like too. Does it feel stiff to the touch? It's not something that waves in the flow, right? Beautiful tank by the way!

Thanks! It's moderately stiff, not like Halimeda or anything, and I don't think it's calcified much, if at all. Kinda like a soft toothbrush.
It's definitely more stiff than GHA and maiden's hair, and does not sway in the water.

Sounds like cladophora to me as well
