Is this good algae?

I think this is the good red algae, but I'm not sure.  It's hard to tell by pictures sometimes.  This has started growing on a piece of my live rock.  If anyone can help me identify, it would be appreciated.

Not a very clear picture, I'll try again.

 

Thanks for any help.

Well, it's a Rhodophyta of sorts. I don't think it's the grape kind. If it starts to take over then it's too invasive. pull it out or quarantine the rocks. It might be from the kelp family.

I got that stuff in my tank.  My blenny eats it as a snack.

May have to get me a blenny then.  So far it's growing very slow.  I'll keep an eye on it.  Thanks.
