Anyone ever seen this stuff? (The red stuff, not the GSP on the left that looks sad because I just moved it).

It's only started growing since I upgraded my lighting; somehow it's survived four or five months of cooking and another five months with extraordinarily lousy lighting. It's soft.

Looks similar to an algae that I had growing. Cant remember the name sorry but let it grow a little more and shoot off another picture.

Amazing what can live. I had a tiny little anemone make it through.

I stumbled upon a picture of just what you have, it was labelled "Red Macro (unknown)" I guess you're not the only one who doesn't know what it is. I'll let you know if I find anything else, I'm trying to make sure I have surviving baby hermits and not some crappy hitchers.

It's grown a bit more, too. Maybe I should take some more pictures... hmmm.

It sounds like a lot of red macros go unidentified. Many people never get the chance to see them, because they're so tasty to herbivores. Guess I'm lucky.

It keeps growing, and some new colonies are sprouting up from the same rock as well. Might try to propagate it and spread the joy around. :) It's as pretty as most corals, IMO.
