need help figuring out what this is.

Someone suggested I post a topic in here. My tank has been up for 4 months now, about a month ago I had this purple looking bush thing starting to grow from my rock, its a month later and its getting bigger. I dont have a really good camera to take quality pics so hopefully someone is able to determine what it is with the pictures I have. Its purple like I said, its hard yet soft enough to if you touch it it moves, it does not wave in the water and it has a bunch of branches.

this was it a month ago

If these pics dont do, I guess I could try to take some better ones. Thanks in advance.

I could probably guess that it is blue ochtodes, but we really need some better in focus shots for a more positive id.

hopefully these will help a little better.
