Macroalgae

Are the any types of macroalgae that would look nice in a reef display tank, export nutrients (or at least do no harm) and not become a nuisance??
Thanks

I enjoy the Halimeda in my tank and let it grow with occasional pruning. It grows from just a few points, so it is much easier to keep in check than something like caulerpa
