Forgot which one but it's caulerpa and it could be dangerous (i had that exact same one too but then i got a foxface and it ate it)

it is in fact Caulerpa. That particular species grows fast and can easily take over your tank without haste. Try to get it out with your fingers if you can, or try a tang or two, but good luck.

i think its called caulerpa racemosa.

i have some too, i just took tweezers to a large piece of LR that has many hard to reach places.

I would say it is Caulerpa peltata:

and not Caulerpa racemosa:
