I have a small amount of these two things growing in my tank.

Caulerpa racemosa???

Halimeda discoidea???

I think you're right on the racemosa, but I can't really tell on the Halimeda pic. Could be H. incrassata, discoidea, opuntia...
 
is the second algae, hard -- physcially? can you break it? does some of it turn white where down lower? if so sounds like halimeda...
 
Yes, the 2nd algae is white in lower areas, but it is not too hard, it does not crunch when removing it. It is pretty small too, about 1/4 inch "leaves" for lack of a better term. I'll try to get some better pics later today.
