Algae id

Anyone have any idea what sort of algae this is?
It has spread over the rock and is like lots of small brown plates.

Any ideas?

 

Ahh yes, I was growing some of that thing, still have a few patches here and there. Plating algae, try searching that on google.

 

Thanks for that, it looks like Lobophora Variegata.

Can't find that much on it but I will keep looking. I think it may be considered a pest but is easily removed.

Cheers.

 

I couldnt remember the name of it but its a type of brown macro alge not a bad type to have.

 

I hope it's not, it looks really neat. ;D
