Help me Id This

[bhbbhb]

I have these red bubble type items in my overflow. They actually are round - have a firm but pliable outer shell and some sort of gooey clear liquid in them. Any ideas?
So I am curious if anyone can help me id these red bubble items. They are a little smaller than a pencil eraser.

At first I thought they may be Banggai eggs since I recently found a Banggai Cardinal Fry in my sump. But I thought the male mouthbroods them until they hatch and these seem too big. { As a side note the baby Banggais is still alive and this is week 2. I was able to place it in an isolation tank.}

thanks

Yes of course ....... feel dumb for asking --- thanks for the reply. I have had green bubble algae before - but first time dealing with this Red Bubble Algae - I guess popping them - will just release more spores. I'll have to find a way to remove. They are stuck pretty tight into the over flow...
thanks

Was able to remove most of them without popping them --- one did pop - so I will just have to wait and see. I have never had them in my tanks before - not sure how they made it into this one...will need to do some research ... maybe too much light - I also tend to overfeed my fish --- perhaps my RO unit is not removing everything it should.

So - now that I have removed the "Red Bubble Algae" - should I be concerned about the dark red algae growing all over my rocks? It's even on some of my snails and the shell of my clam. I attached a photo. Not talking about the purple coralline algae - but the dark red spots. Any thoughts - comments - suggestions?
Thanks Bruce

Dying and upside down Candy Cane (Caulastrea sp.)

Sponge - harmless filter feeder.

Galaxea sp. Can be very aggressive - watch what is downstream from it, it can throw out some really long, really potent sweepers.

I think the candy canes are coming back. now I see some healthy polyps growing. before that , it was just two light green heads. now about 7 .

also yeah I kept it up side up later. its just picture was better when I turned it . you can see the new polyps on the side. they seems to be excited when I spot feed .
