Looks like Acetabularia calyculus, Mermaid's Wine Glass algae. Not quite sure how they came up with that name. If I were a Merman, I'd wanna drink wine from much larger glasses.

Tea cup caulerpa? Little round slightly concave discs, grows low and along the rock? Caulerpa Verticellata? If so, very invasive.

could also be caulerpa peltata

My yellow tang loved it! I actually wouldn't mind having some for my tang to graze on.
