Crossword Genius

Agree lad removed seaweed (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

red algae

'seaweed' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'agree lad removed' is the wordplay.
'removed' is an anagram indicator (moved again).
'agree'+'lad'='agreelad'
'agreelad' anagrammed gives 'RED ALGAE'.

(Other definitions for red algae that I've seen before include "Aquatic life" , "that grows underwater" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
