It is just red algae but will be super invasive and might spread very fast... And will be a eyesore...

Will there be a creature to feed on it?

Try algae eating urchin or abolone...

Agree. The most infamous case I remember is the tank in Paradiz Reef, his entire display tank was filled with purple balls!
