It isn't bubble algae. Either way it is still a red macro algae. Shouldn't be a problem as long as it doesn't become invasive. What size tank is it in? Herbivore could probably mow through it.

Depending on how stocked it is, a bristletooth tang would probably demolish that stuff if it became an issue.
