This is a fleshy plant that grows on the rocks, this piece is maybe 5 inches across

Looks like grape Caulerpa, C. racemosa....great for nutrient export but invasive....yank it out every couple of days and you're golden!

yeah, I just got lucky, the camera focuses well at that distance through the glass, thx for the help.

Wow I was just coming to this forum to post an ID thread but this is exactly what I have. Pruning is going to be exciting considering that the grape caulerpa is growing in my soon to be mantis tank.

Frostyeel- When you prune your grape Caulerpa, make sure to freeze it before putting it in the trash. (It's illegal to possess this and 8 other species of Caulerpa in California due to the environmental damage that's caused when they get released into the wild ($500-10,000 fine for possessing)).
