Noticed this this morning. Is it bad algae? Or can I leave it?

Looks like maybe either a grape macro algae, which is good, or maybe Cyanobacteria which is bad, looks a little too bright of purple for cyano, but I'm not sure, is the bubble shape the form of the algae or does it have air bubbles in it giving it that shape?
 
That's not cyano, and it's too pretty, and uncommon, to be an algae that gets out of hand. I would leave it.
