Hi guys, Does anyone know for sure what this algae is. I will post very large pics and normal size. The 1st pic is macro magnified This algae is very small and brittle and most I would think would say it is Gelidium or ASPARGOPSIS? Thanks for any help

That paper that the algae is on is a note pad to give you some idea to the size of algae. I guess between the lines is 1/3 of an inch.
 
Ocean Drive, I have been looking for photos of Laurencia minuta
which I understand it might be from another source. I can't find a picture of it though. What might eat it other than urchins?
