Any chance it is Taxifolia?

I think Racemosa is more grape like, and this one is more fern like?

Appears it's Caulerpa sertularioides http://www.algaebase.org/search/species/detail/?species_id=1412.

+1 to C. taxifolia.

taxifolia and sertulariodes look so similar. In a way it does not matter. They both export nutrients and both could go sexual if your not careful
I run a 24/7 light and dose a little iron. Hope that does not discolor my zoanthids!

caulerpa mexicana or caulerpa taxifolia. the difference between the two is the fronds on the mid rib of c. taxifolia will taper off as they approach the runner.
