Yes! Looks like codium(?), "dragons breath" (halymenia sp) and red kelp of some kind! Nice Catch!!!

Neomeris.
Perhaps a Halymenia, or similar. Not sure.
Codium foreground, Caulerpa serrulata in the back.

Not positive on IDs for the last three. And my guesses aren't close enough according AlgaeBase.

I'm planning to remove all caulerpa from my fuge and replace with these beautiful algae but I'm not sure about their ability to absorb NO3/PO4. I also wonder that 23 watts x 3 of PC in my fuge would enough for them or not.
