Any ideas about this one? About a month ago it began spontaneously growing on my sandbed in a spot with moderate light and fairly strong water motion, and now forms a clump about 2" across. It has very soft, fine, feathery branches that easily trap detritus and a loose "holdfast" of substrate attached to its base.

Oh yeah, I guess that pretty much matches the description perfectly! It's funny; I read the same article on ReefCleaners but just glossed over that entry. I guess the pink color threw me off, but in the text it says it is more commonly red.

 

So it's a pest then! I rather like it though, so I think I might keep it around for now.
