Default Algae ID

Can anyone tell me what kind of algae this is? From the picture it is difficult to see, but it is somewhat wirey with small, flat, circular "leaves". I have tried to find a similar picture of it on the web, but I have not been able to.

Thanks for directing me to the library. It appears to be a species of caulerpa. Should I be worried about this? It is a small patch right now.
