Not A Trick

I am hoping someone has seen something like this. I have something on my live rock. It is easy to describe because it looks exactly like a medium size pearl. It is gray and has a similar luster. At first i thought it was a small marble or round piece of glass that was gradually being exposed as some algae died off. This is not the case. It grows very slowly. That is why I didn't pay much attention to it at first. It does not move. A couple of days ago, I noticed two more, very small versions, about three times the size of the head of a pin. They too are getting a little larger, but very slowly.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this. I have not touched it so I don't know if it is hard or soft. I can't research it because i have no idea what to search for. I took a picture of it with my cell phone camera. It is not the greatest, but I have no way of posting it on this web site. What I would like to do is send the picture to anyone else who has the ability to post it directly to the forum.
If anyone is interested in doing this, please send me a message or e-mail your cell number and I will send it to you. This is not a joke or a trick. I am very serious.

bubble algae comes in different colors.emerald crabs are a good critter to eat them.i would get tweezers and try to pluck them out by the base.if they get big and pop they release spores and spread fast

Thats it. I would never have thought it was algae, since it is just one bubble. Thanks so much for answering my question. Problem finally solved. Thanks again.
