Default Green leafy ID please. Friend or foe?


It is only on one, small piece of liverock that my flowerpot came attached to.



A closeup shot.

Any suggestions or ideas on its identification would be greatly appreciated.

It would be a nutrient sink but if it suddenly dies all those nutrients a released back into the water.So i would keep it well trimmed.
