need ID on this red macroalgae

[stan80]

Im new to saltwater I purchased some chaeto for my sump and it has some hitchhiker red alage mixed in it and just wondering what's the name of it and if I need to worry about it or not

It's very hard to tell from that picture, but cyano comes to mind as it's on the chaeto. A better picture would help to identify if the red is an actual separate plant or on the chaeto.

It kind of looks like Cotton Candy algae to me.

Hard to show the texture in these pics

Kind of blurry... Is it fibrous or kind of gelatinous?

Tears apart like its fibrous
