Appears to be, if branched, Composopogon, aka staghorn alga, a red
alga.
If you did a fair amount of plant uprooting etc, without doing a water
change after, you likely got it that way.

Trim infected leaves, prune, and keep up on good nutrients/light/CO2.

Looks like hair Algae to me as well.
You should also measure your phosphate levels.+ Frequent water changes! Very
important for an Algae problematic tank.
I would also recommend to get some algae eating fish, Change your photo
period and get some Amano shrimps if you can. (Although your angels might
not like them to much.

It's the same algae I had last spring, very hard to get rid of. Massive
water changes and antibiotics don't seem to help with this type. I finally
resorted to putting duckweed in the tank, which slowly killed of the algae
from lack of light/nutrients. It did take about 3 months though.

I wish you luck.
