Need help indentifying macroalgae!

Hello everyone, i found these wierd types of macro algaes. The red one that you see right down here, is actually not red bubble algae, since i already have red bubble algae in my tank, and they dont have the samme appearance or texture. It is also kinda soft, and sometimes sways in the flow. Also these green seagrass thingies, seems to be very thin, and long. Mine arent very big yet, since they just started growing in my tank for some time ago, they also seems to grow in groups. Also, my live rock is from Indonesia, so its from the Indo-Pacific. I really need some help on what these things possibly can be, since i would really like to use them in my future refugium, if they grow well, and keep nutrients at bay:
