What is this stuff?

A new piece of lr had this growing on it. It has been growing quite well and looks pretty cool. Its red and bubbly looking as you can see in the pic. Just want to know what type of macroalgae it is....

Does anyone know what that purle-red macroalgae is??? It is really starting to grow now. I like it but don't want it if its a nuisance. Just let me know if its alright to keep in my 29 gal tank and how do I keep it under control if it starts going too nuts. thanks...

Botryocladia pyriformis likely.

THANKS! Is it ok to keep in the tank or is a nuisance? I do like its look....

Generally: If _you_ like the look, it's not a weed.
This should not get "bad" and it should be easy to remove if you change your mind.
