Please ID the algae



I feel this algae could be some kind of Caulerpa, the length of "leaf" is 0.5 - 1.5 inch and it is very soft and thin, it grow very fast just like Caulerpa sertularoides. I have got it with some corals from Indonesia.

Definitely. Could be Caulerpa prolifera, which is very common, or potentially Caulerpa brachypus, though the leaf morphology is usually more tooth when they are just starting to grow.

Yours is a nice green by the way. Looks very healthy.
