Hey ever since I got 14K's I have had like 3 different kinds of macro algae
pop up. I have found names for all except this one. sorry it was in a little
tiny gap in my rock so the pics suck. this is the only cool macro my snails
wont eat.

Sorry, but I have to disagree. If you look a little further down on that web page you will see that it more closely resembles Caulerpa Peltata. It has rhizomes (lateral runners) and rhizoids (roots) just like all Caulerpa.

I will have to get a better pic of mine. some how. but the way mine grows
it isnt attached to each other they are little stems attached to the rock.
they dont have a main root like caulerpa.
