What is your temp, salinity and has anything been added or changed of late, any or all of these can do what is happening?
I have caulerpa doing great under extremely weak cool white and standard blue diodes, but if course that water is only 7 inches deep and it thrives!

If you don't typically run your system at or above 80 it may be responding to the temperature spike. try pruning out the dead parts and getting your temperature down a bit.
