Algae ID

Trying to ID new bright green algae in photo. I've seen it right next to hair algae and the hair algae was a distinctly darker green. What I see is bright green. I put chaeto in the fuge a few months ago --maybe its spreading. The hermits and turbos don't seem to eat it. If it is chaeto what all eats it?

(I've hand fed my emerald crab chaeto but he disappeared into the rocks a couple weeks ago).

Chaeto won't attach to a rock, so if it's attached, it's not chaeto.

I'd guess bryopsis or some sort of hair algae. Hard to tell from a blurry pic :(.
 
I wouldn't worry too much about it.If it starts t oget bigger just get some tweezers and pluck it out.
