Default What might this be?

Ok masters of the reef... what might I have growing here in front of my less than pretty epoxy? (maybe I'll get lucky and it will be something good that will help disguise it!) It's approximately 3/4-1" tall so far. Stiff in texture, doesn't sway with the current and is branching nicely.
My tank is still cycling and going through a nasty diatom bloom currently, but I am starting to notice quite a bit of "plant like" growth on the rocks in the last 3 days or so, this being one of them. Any ideas?

Is it still growing in size since you first noticed it?

I know it wasn't there about 8 days ago when I finished epoxying in the branch rock in place that's above it. Just noticed it 2 days ago and was amazed that it was there.
