What kind of macro algae is this?

It's been in my tank since day 1 as a hitchhiker on the live rock I purchased. Is it okay to have or should I get rid of it while I'm still ahead.

Bryopsis is also known as hair algae, right? I don't think it has the look of bryopsis. It actually looks more like turf algae with that 'wirey' type look rather than the fern look of bryopsis.

i had a little clump of turf algae. it looked just like this. luckily it was only in one spot. i just chipped off that section of rock and threw it out. I haven't seen any since and its been almost 4 weeks.

Thanks for all the advice everyone! I'm pretty positive it's turf algae so like the above poster said I'm just going to chip off some of the rock it's on since its only in a few small patches.
