Just as the title says...what is this plant called...It is dark green and closely resembles a Christmas tree, and has leaves that look like a fern. there is not a very distinct stem on these that caulerpa typically have, and I am not sure as to what this type is....if I blow it copepods come out like crazy, my hippo tang wont touch it, but algae blenny likes to sit behind it. any insight on this would be beneficial, and thank you for looking. the larger plant is the one by the frogspawn, and that one it 3.5 inches tall, and is more vertical then wide, you may not see that on the pic, and then there is another patch starting to take root over by the ricordeas, which is 2 feet away. Tank is 125 gallon nitrates are measurable but are low, API, all other specs are in the desired range for a reef tank. I did add a fish 2 months ago, and went through a cycle, and started to grow algae again. I went through a hair bloom, and now this plant has taken root, and don't know what it is.

I forget but I had a small batch of that that came in with my Chateo and it spread all over my live rocks. I had one hell of a time getting rid of this with manual removal.
 
Bryposis for sure, and handle it NOW. Not in two days, not next week. I've had several inches of growth practically overnight with that crud.
