Don't have any experance with this type of caulerpa, but in general they
are not to much of a nuisance.

Sounds like they might be a Majemo sp (I think I butchered that
spelling), anemone which is concidered by most to be a major pest.

The small ones are not the offspring of the larger. First for the
larger to spawn you would need 2 of them, possible even 2 of the correct
sex if they are not hemaphrodites. The small ones are very common
hitchhickers showing up in tanks. I have one tank that when you look
under the rocks that are just off the bottom, all you can see is small
featherdusters.
