Question ID needed, some kind of red algae?

Hi everyone, please help me to identify this in my tank.

I think is an algae, but not sure.

Is red with blue spots and grow like plate, is very thin like a paper sheet.

Good, bad, should I remove it?

It's badass is what it is. Seems to come in on Pacific rock to lucky individuals every so often. Let it grow and sell frags to macro-heads.

I don't know its scientific name, just know it by forum members who have it.
