Red Algae ID. Not Cyano.

Every once in a while I run across something I've never had or seen in my years of reefing. I've developed this red algae on my rock and I'm not sure what I'm dealing with. It does not blow off and will not brush off with toothbrush. I've been through several Algae Id pictures and closest thing I can find is Cotton Candy algae, however I have no puffy tufts anywhere. I have several Mexican turbo snails and a Urchin in QT for a few more days, that I will add. This seems to have no affect on coral and everything is thriving. Thoughts anyone??? Thanks in advance.

Try Mexican turbo, they love the red.
Urchin, eats, wel, anything mostly
Seems tiny the red, I would just see what the CUC can do, they are correct for this algae.
 
It's the only snail I found that actually worked well. Total eradication. 2 weeks.
I was surprised....good luck
