    absolutley positive with caulpera prolifera its atached to the bottom and is longer and looks like small kelp in most pics. that is indeed where i got my pic from. the pic that i chose is similar to the one i had because the leaves look really similar

    That is a pic of prolifera above. Get a pic of your stuff and we can identify it. I bet its going to end up being IDed as prolifera.
