Looks like Halimeda macro algae, but I'm not 100% sure. Here's a link to info about care for Halimeda in case this is what you've got

Saltwater Aquarium Plants for Marine Reef Aquariums: Halimeda Plant (Algae)

It's caulerpa nummularia. The care guidance I can give is to eliminate it. In a display tank, it's a pest macroalgae that will very quickly spread, take over all your rocks, smothering and killing everything in its path. :)

Anytime anyone ends a sentence with "mostly," I think of Alien.

100% gone or it is never removed. "Mostly" is a dangerous word.
Don't make me pull out my caulerpa invasion picture again! :)
