ID needed...please

[wildjosh]

This stuff grows on a few of my rocks and it looks like red bubbles, it seems kind of hard but I have not tried to squeeze it too much because i don't want it to spread. Can anyone help me out with an ID.

Red Bubble Algae Botryocladia sp.

Is it bad to have?

That's up to you. I've never seen it get out of control like Valonia. If you like it then leave it. If not just pluck it out.

I have never really seen it out of control in a tank before. I have seen it in several tanks...including my own. It is hardly noticeable. In the off chance somebody does notice it, I just lie and tell them it's a red pearl

Can't we do that to 90% of the people on 99% of our stuff?
