Caulerpa identification

[DaDom]

Hey, simple question, could anyone help me identify the caulerpa I have here?
Couldn't figure it out via Google but I guess Caulerpa prolifera looks kinda close?

Looks like peltata but can also be halmeda

Can you get a straight on pic, so we can see the blades at a better angle?

Definitely not prolifera, possibly Caulerpa scalpelliformis.

Caulerpa peltata (currently accepted as Caulerpa chemnitzia) has saucer-like growths:

Halimeda grows segments and does not feature the extensive rhizome that OP's algae has:

I'm leaning towards C. scalpelliformis - Raven

Doesn't look like this can be the species cause this has been sourced from the Caribbean, and its range/distribution doesn't extend to that region.

Maybe it really is Mexicana. Not 100% sure though

AlgaeBase and WoRMS state that Caulerpa scalpelliformis’s range extends into the Caribbean.
