trying my best at this...
Hi!
I bought last week-end this algae at my LFS... the guy at the store sale it as red algea...
I wanted to know the specific name and how should I care for to keep it in good shape!
It's in my SH tank (I did not put it in the reef because I know the tangs would have eat it in minutes! :lol: )
thanks!

My lightning in that tank is
1x 28w T5 12000K Daylight
1x 28w T5 True Actinic
Is it ok? too much? not enough?
 
looks great, wish I had some

I dont know anything about it, but I bet it will do fine in your tank under the lighting you describe
 
Red algae are pretty tough to ID based on just rough morphology. A general guess could be Gracilaria, which is a highly variable genus
