I bought a small GSP frag from Dr reef a month and a half ago and it started opening up two weeks ago.

What is that reddish brown thing growing alongside my GSP? When I got the frag the polyps were all purple. Nothing looked different

Yeah, some sort of red macroalgae - I'd need clearer pics to attempt a proper ID beyond that, but it looks like an ornamental kind rather than a particularly invasive kind, so I wouldn't worry about it.
