Red bulb/pulp/balloon...Need help

[capj64]

I've run into something that I can't ID. I've looked until my eyes are crossed. It's in a place that I won't be able to get a good photo so hopefully I can explain it well enough that someone here and ID for me.

It's red. About the size of a pea. It looks like someone blew up a balloon and attached it to my LR. I have three of them, all on the same LR, but they're not that close to each other. When I shine a light on them it looks like I should be able to see threw them. They're in the part of my tank that get low flow.

I hope this is informative If not I'll try and get a picture somehow.

Thank you

It's possible from what I can tell from the picture. I'll see if I can look up other pics of what you're telling me and see if I can tell Thanks!!!

I'm pretty sure it's not cyano...that that before in my other tank.

Found it Botryocladia pseudodichotoma and from what I'm reading I have to remove it. "Description: This is Red Bubble Algae, one of the Botryocladia species, (probably skottsbergeii or pyriformis) ."
Weird, cause I've had that rock forever.
