Tubed Weed - Polysiphonia sp.
I'm not sure if the genus is correct, I'm just guessing. This weed was so messy and fluffy -- it was really hard to get a good photo. There are numerous Polysiphonia species, and they require microscopy to ID to species-level. Some are epiphytes, while others can be found free floating or adhered to rock.
Habitat: Subtidal pools
