That looks like one of the Caulerpa species, maybe prolifera. Generally easy to control as you can just pull it up via the runners.

If you plan to use it for nutrient export, just pull out some periodically.

I looked, and its not prolifera.... I wonder if it does something good to the tank.
Its taking over fast od the sand bed. I think Im going to take it out
 
I had something similar in my old tank, it become a big problem when a little of it got to the display tank, on my new tank iam using cheato only

Main reason we use chaeto as well. Just too worried about other types of algae getting in the display.
 
Yea that was borg caulerpaderpadingadonga. Good thing you took it out because it would of assimilated every organism in your tank. Resistance is futile.
