looks like a caulera of some type, but on my phone with a terribly broken screen. I will see if @WheatToast or @Subsea can help ID it.

Looks like Caulerpa brachypus, one of the rarer species of Caulerpa in the hobby. It can grow quickly and can become a nuisance, though it provides good nutrient export. It can also be used to create decorative “lawns” on the sandbed.

It has been a rather slow grower in my system compared to more popular species like Caulerpa prolifera and Caulerpa paspaloides. @dvgyfresh has had experience eliminating the algae after an infestation.
