Red Algae

Anyone know what this is? The name for it? I have tons of it in my refugium growing on my chaeto.

Here are some other things besides red algae and gigantic amphipods. These guys live on the glass.

Looks like cyano bacteria. I had something that looked like that in my fuge too, until I put a powerhead in there.

This is, decidedly different than cyano. I have aot of flow in my fuge. I meant the red stuff it's more like a red hair, but it only grows on the chaeto and in balls. In the picture it's just up against the baffle but not attached to it.
