I think you are talking about the coraline algae for saltwater. This maroon looking algae grows in freshwater. I am just comparing it to coraline algae. I usually put 1 tablespoon of salt per 5 gallon of water which makes the maroon algae grows. I would have to make a correction on the description as It can be confusing. thanks

@blacklockg
Keep it. fish nibble on it as food. That is how they survive on the wild!
