Read Leaf Algae

I recently completed two moves, the last 1,000 miles, and now have my 125 stable and looking better every day. All of my live rock has been in the system from 3 to 7 years. In the last 4 months, I notice a red/maroon leaf type algae. It is a slow grower but now has two leaves about 4" tall and 1.5" wide.

The item is behind a very large toadstool and thus far, no picture. What type of algae is this, any ideas?
 
Appears it is H. Formosa or something very similar.

Amazing to see this plant for the first time on live rock in the system for so long.

Thanks for your help Kevin.
