Try looking up Dasycladus. If it isn't actually Dasycladus it is definately in the order Dasycladales. Another possibility is Batophora but I don't think that's it. How long have you had it? Is it growing well?

kmk2307, Thanks for your information.

I think it's not Dasycladus according to the difference of cell wall.

I guess it's maybe Codium after searching.
Codium tomentosum http://www.horta.uac.pt/species/Algae/Codium_tomentosum/Codium_tomentosum.htm
or
Codium decorticatum http://www.horta.uac.pt/species/Algae/Codium_decorticatum/Codium_decorticatum.htm
But I don't have close pictures, so I'm not sure.

I had it about 1 week, it's just fine now.

Definitely not Bataphora--if it were you'd be deceased from beating yourself senseless trying to eliminate it from your system.

From a reluctant Bataphora owner and hater...
