Please Help Identify Red Bubbles

They have tiny blue dots and transparent. The pictures are ok, but you can get an idea. They are near the back so I have some algae on the glass, sorry about that!

Looks like red bubble algae. I don't think it's a cyano.

agreed, i think it is red bubble algae

Emerald Crabs can be hit or miss when it comes to bubble algae. Manual removal is what I would do.

I have one! kk I will pull out with caution

Red Valonia(red bubble) Not as invasive as normal bubble algae.
Here is a good link.
Red Volonia
Emeralds will not eat (maybe a red mithrax will)JK
A Dejardini Sailfin will though.

link didnt work, and its a 28 gallon so I dont think a sailfin would be happy in there Thanks for the advise though!

 

[nova65chic]

yup I figured it was like regular bubble algae, so removing with caution, I only have about 5 bubbles as of right now, so caught it in time! whew!

Sorry about the link, I will try when I get to a computer that will do it. Not like normal bubble algae. Google the name I gave you.

 

[nova65chic]

kk, will do!

Busting bubble algae does NOT release anything in the water - that's a MYTH!
