Caulerpa racemosa peltata. Whether it's good or bad is up to you. It can be invasive if conditions are right for it. If you're keeping a reef tank, with low nutrients, it may not survive. In my experience they're kind of greedy.

They are extremely difficult to keep alive because they are filter feeders who exclusively feed on plankton during the night.
In most cases they will slowly starve to death in a reef tank. They probably have the best chances of survival in a NPS tank that is heavily fed and has a good nutrient export to keep nitrates and phosphates low.
