Need ID on this macroalgae

[MACH5]

Hi, can anyone please ID this algae for me? It grew in my nano and it sure looks pretty. I'm assuming it is some kind of red macroalgae.

Thanks in advance!

Come on guys no one?

It looks like Dragons Breath!1 Im not sure of the scientific name tho

Was thinking the same thing. There are a few types of algae referred to as dragons breathe. This looks like one of them.

Ok thank you so much guys! Yes it does look like it. I had never heard of this macroalgae but then again I'm not too familiar with any of them except the more common ones.
I just wanted to make sure it was not something I needed to get rid of since it just popped up from my LR in my nano. It really does look very special and beautiful. It's almost a hot pink!

I agree with Adamt, the dragons breath does not have those bulbous "ears" on the blades, a structure known to Titano's like Titanophora incrustans
