Red bbble like thing?

[williamsaj1210]

Got a piece of live rock today and found some red ball/bubble like things? What is this and is this good? Its small, grouped, dark red, and bulbous. Thanks!


Sorry for bad pictures... Need a better camera.

look like it might be polyps growing on the coral skeleton

Looks like red bubble algae

Okay. Yup looked up pictures and almost for sure its red bubnle algae. How to I get rid of it? Just remove the bubbles?

That would be the best way since you don't have a whole bunch of them. Just make sure you don't burst them as you remove them or they will spread spores in your tank. Or you can take the rock out, scrape them off, rinse it well and place it back

Got it. Took it out and escaped it away. Thankfully it was in the quarantine tank. Thanks!!
