Green bubbles on coral

[jericholic]

My candy coral are developing a green tick like bubble shaped thing on them. Is this a pest?

Sounds like bubble algae and it is a pest

What kind of coral is it on? I've never actually seen BA on coral itself, just on rock.

If it's bubble algae, be VERY careful not to "squish" it in your tank... otherwise you will NEVER get rid of it! It should be firm to the touch, and you can just gently kind of roll it off the surface of the coral. Capture the little ball, remove it from your tank, and as I think Jin is famous for saying, "kill it with fire"...
