Asparagopsis taxiformis
I found a small piece of this dreaded algae in my aquarium. Hope I can kill it off before it takes over again. That said, like all things evil, it is pretty up close.
The lower magnification shots work better when viewed in native resolution - which I unfortunately did not make available here. There is a lot of detail that is smudged / lost when resized down from 18MP to less than 1MP on screen. 20140516-DSLR_IMG_0110-Edit.jpg by pwnell, on Flickr Reef aquarium pink algae (Asparagopsis taxiformis - Falkenbergia Stage / Sporophyte Stage),40x,DIC, HF B 20140516-DSLR_IMG_0149-Edit.jpg by pwnell, on Flickr Reef aquarium pink algae (Asparagopsis taxiformis - Falkenbergia Stage / Sporophyte Stage),60x/1.2,DIC, HF B 20140516-DSLR_IMG_0218.jpg by pwnell, on Flickr Reef aquarium pink algae (Asparagopsis taxiformis - Falkenbergia Stage / Sporophyte Stage),60x/1.2,POL 20140516-DSLR_IMG_0219-Edit.jpg by pwnell, on Flickr Reef aquarium pink algae (Asparagopsis taxiformis - Falkenbergia Stage / Sporophyte Stage),60x/1.2,FLUO-C4 20140516-DSLR_IMG_0257-Edit.jpg by pwnell, on Flickr Reef aquarium pink algae (Asparagopsis taxiformis - Falkenbergia Stage / Sporophyte Stage),40x,FLUO-C4, HF C + DE 20140516-DSLR_IMG_0301-Edit.jpg by pwnell, on Flickr Reef aquarium pink algae (Asparagopsis taxiformis - Falkenbergia Stage / Sporophyte Stage),10x,FLUO-C4, HF B 20140516-DSLR_IMG_0330-Edit.jpg by pwnell, on Flickr Reef aquarium pink algae (Asparagopsis taxiformis - Falkenbergia Stage / Sporophyte Stage),10x,DF, HF B 20140516-DSLR_IMG_0363-Edit.jpg by pwnell, on Flickr Reef aquarium pink algae (Asparagopsis taxiformis - Falkenbergia Stage / Sporophyte Stage),20x,DF+POL, HF B 20140516-DSLR_IMG_0479-Edit.jpg by pwnell, on Flickr Reef aquarium pink algae (Asparagopsis taxiformis - Falkenbergia Stage / Sporophyte Stage),60x/1.2,DIC, HF A+B |

Bravo! I like 4 and 5 particularly. That last one is pretty sweet too.
