It looks like a type of caulerpa. I had some of that in my tank and it started to take over. I put in 2 yellow tangs and they took care of it in no time!

Grape caulerpa. it has roots. Get it out of there as much as you can. It's a pest.

Are both of them Calerpa? The one is a bit differant. The second one has round leaves, while the first one is just vine like.

1st could be Caulerpa serrulata, hard to say for sure.

2nd looks like Caulerpa peltata.
