That is Cyano bacteria or "Red Slime", it won't hurt anything, if you can siphon it out with an air hose, do so, if not it will eventually go away on it's own.

Yes cyano.
And that looks like feather caulerpa macro algae. You definitely don't want that to get into your display. I'd just stick with chaeto.
