I've been struggling to grow ulva or caulerpa in my fuge but this algae has popped up and seems to be doing well. Any ID appreciated.

Caulerpa chemnitzia (once known as Caulerpa peltata)? Here is mine:

Awesome thanks! I see it's native to the subtropical areas of Australia. We get the warm current pushing down here to Tasmania in summer so wonder if it hitch hiked in via the NSW I use... I'm just happy to have it established!
