maroon bubbles- please help ID

[drinkingbird]

Sorry guys, I'm poor can't afford a digi camera, but here is a pretty good description (i hope)...

small maroon bubbles <1mm in diameter, bubble is slightly football shaped, has a matte finish not like valonia's metallic sheen
bubbles attached to small stem which is attached to burgundy colored coralline algae
7 or 8 bubbles grouped together
Maybe Botryocladia sp????? if it is - keep or remove?

that looks like it. I think I may keep a little while & remove later. I think it's pretty.
