Caulerpa? Help with species ID?

[franx]

This is taking over my fuge but I have none so far in the display tank. I think it must be Caulerpa, but I'm having trouble identifying the species from photos. It seems closest to racemosa, but not a perfect match - the stalks are a little more "leggy", and the ramuli are not as round. Maybe a turbinata variety?

Caulerpa chemnitzia var. turbinata would be my guess (sometimes known as Caulerpa racemosa var. turbinata, though that's an unaccepted synonym).

Thank you kindly!
