Red Macro ID please!

Just got this red macro algae.Don't know What it is my guess its either Gelidium sp or Gracilaria.
Its growing on a rock.
Its hard wire brush like to feel,breaks easily.
The small stuff is some red soft to feel and brush like.


P.S sorry for the awful pics.

I think it might be galaxaura. Either way its a great addition. My long spined urchin ate all mine.

I think thats what I have.
I couldn't find much info about it though.Does anyone know how to keep it alive and thriving ?
Its under 2 30W PC daylights in a 18 G tank.I have placed it up high because I dont know about its light requirements or anything.

sounds okay. mine was under 250 watt metal halides in a 180g.it also likes a moderate current.not a very good nutrient exporter but looks great.good luck.
