Looks kinda like flame algae to me (Bryothamnion sp.)

Is that okay? Will it take over the tank?
I agree with norcalnano, one of the byrothamnion species, at leat the one with serrated edges looks to be. There are look alike cousins from the Pacific that are the same in almost every way except some cell structure. Slow growers, and won't take over a tank, they are very easy to remove.

Of course you do... I got the species name of your site.
Even then I try to disagree whenever I can.
