The red stuff is likely the Echeuma, generally it's a orangish/yellow color out in rocky flats, sandy areas, but in tanks it can go redder. "Sea moss" the locals called it. I like it.

It should be pretty rubbery and tough.
Fast grower, likes current/wave action.

That's the only thing locally I've seen in that area that has that look from what I can tell on the pics.

I kept it for awhile.
It got too big though, I liked the Daysa better.

BTW all seaweeds are edible, this one in particular.
This one appears to be rather small.
Do not change the lighting routine.
Stick with the same hours per day.
I think that's about the closest thing based on the looks of it from the picture.

It's small enough to be a couple of others, but I'd really have to see it live.
