It comes in different colours shapes. I've had the red oblong shaped ones. The red dots will sprout new bubbles. It doesn't seem to be as bad as the green, but still a pain in the but.

I agree looks like bubble algae. I have a little bit of both red & green in my tank.

If anyone needs some I think I have more than I need in my tank

.
Red bubble algae would be my guess.

I have a ton of them...get rid of it! They are very slimy and will spread like crazy...I would prefer green bubble over this as you can pick out the green really easy, this just gushes and slimes....YUCK

I see bubble algae! Good thing you removed it that stuff can explode like wildfire if left unchecked.

I liked it too. Very alien looking. Oh well.
