Got it as halimeda. I am pretty sure it's not. Does anyone know what kind of plant this is?

It is on of the green calcerous algeas in the genus Halameda, not sure which species, there are several that it could be.

Do you have any links I should check out to figure out what it is?

I have several books on the different algaes of FL, they can be purchased online, though they are not cheap, of the 2 I use the most the prices were $89.99 and $129.99. There are some green algae ID in Paul Humann's Reef Coral book that is good at the coulerpa and halameda identification.
