That's better. What happens if you hit it with a jet of water, like with a turkey baster? When you pick it off the rock will it burst like a balloon if you squish it between your fingers? Is it kinda slimy? It's certainly not typical green bubble algae, but it may be red bubble algae (Botryocladia skottsbergii). Red bubble algae gets rusty brown/reddish spots on it and lightens up as it matures and will look more brown than red. When it is small and more maroon red it is slimy, but isn't slimy when it matures and gets the spots/lightens up. Nothing that we typically keep in our reef tanks eats red bubble algae.
