Should i leave that algae+ little question abou rhodactis

[itelshot]

Just bought a rhodactis. It also just arrived at the store - so this red leafy algae came with them. Can I keep it or should I remove it?
2. also a small question on rhodactis: this white colorless part - is not some infection or just loss of color from some factors during transportation ?

It also seems to be a little fluorescent

Up to you on the macro algae. Some people enjoy growing them out. The white part is the coral's mesenterial filaments, and they are likely out because the coral is stressed from being moved. They should retract on their own.

Yeah, hope someone can say what exact algae specie it is. Yeh, i know about filaments, but i was talking about white colourless part on the side
