Grape Caulerpa or bubble algae, picture is very hard to make out. Are the balls connected by a vine or individual?

I think I can see the vine. the grape is a lot easier to remove. Use forceps/tweezers. to pull on the vine part. If you tug on it gently it will get the roots, vine & grapes. It's more difficult to use the fingers. this has worked for me.

Definitely has vines. I thought it might be caulerpa, but wasnt sure. I only use cheato so must have hitchhiked in. What all will eat it?
I know tangs will eat other types of caulerpa, but I don't believe they'll touch grape. Not positive on inverts either.
