I think that's a type of coraline algae. I've never seen spread like that though. I think it is attractive, as long as it doesn't get out of control. It is calciferous, so it doesn't grow very quickly.
I have never seen that get out of hand. I'm willling to bet that you don't need to worry. Remove whatever you need to by hand, but I bet it doesn't go wild like hair algae or anything.

it is definitely a fast grower and spreads quickly and easily. i've been fighting this since before the dino outbreak.
