Plant question

Would this be a good addition to a reef aquarium? I have never hear do this type of algae. Does anyone have any feedback?

It's a good algae but "somewhat" difficult. It takes rather strong water movement and very strong lighting so may be better for the DT than the fuge. It is noxious so herbivors don't usually care for it. It is good for nutrient uptake and is pretty, if you have good lighting and flow then go for it!

Is it more decorative than beneficial? I do have good lighting and strong water flow.
