Yes on the green as Halimeda, and the 'red grape caulerpa' (which is not actual Caulerpa macroalgae) is likely to be a species of Botryocladia.

Yep, the Botryocladia (the red) is often called 'red grape Caulerpa' in the trade, just to signify it is a macroalgae I think.
But all the true Caulerpa are green in color. >Sarah
