Macro I.D. and some info plz

[kiefers]

Hello..... so recently, like this past weekend I replaced some L/R and did some aquascaping in my little piece of ocean. A couple of years ago I found this red sea weed on a small piece of rock washed up on the beach and bought it home and put it in my biocube. It thrived. It's truely beautiful and flows gracefully. My amphipods like hanging out in it and so do the copods. I currently have 4-5 huge clumps in 2 tanks and would love to know exactly what it is and the benefits please. Maybe some literature (Spanko) if anyone has any?
thankya

Okay, I googled it. this is what I think I have. It's either Gracilaria mammillaris, orRed bush maco or dragon tongue seaweed coral. (thats what it said anyways....

or Halymenia

No, not rigid, just the opp. very smooth and thin. The pics above look exactly like what I have.
