these were hitchikers on corals that I have. The first one is the green on on the right and the 2nd is the pink stuff on the left. The pink grows very fast and I had just ripped a bunch out before this pic.

The green is a species of halimeda see here (http://saltcorner.com/sections/guest/algaepage/Green/calcareousalgae/Hmacroloba.htm)

and the second is possibly rhodymenia (http://saltcorner.com/sections/guest/algaepage/Red/redlettuce/Rpseudopalmata.htm)

you can browse the entire site here algae page (http://saltcorner.com/sections/guest/algaepage/algaepage.htm)

Are you aiming for a planted type tank? :) It looks really cool.

You certainly could be correct, I purchased some algae online which was listed as Rhodymenia, but looks more like the species you have so hard to say especially based on pics.
