What is this red algae? The "furry" stuff. Obviously not the coralline.

Can you get a closer shot of it?

Common. Often precedes coralline, at least in my tanks, but comes on rapidly, coats rock but nothing else, doesn't harm anything I've ever found.

Look up some pics of red dictyota. If it matches, nip it in the bud.

This is about the closest I could find to what you have.

Ah, a better look. Definitely, nix it. Best cure for bad algae is to remove rock, scrub with toothbrush then dip the affected surface of the rock 30 seconds in drugstore hydrogen peroxide, rinse, replace with the affected side down. DO RINSE. The pure oxygen bubbles that rise can harm corals.

I got it all for free. Just going to throw it out.
