Small Red Clear eggs on live rock?

Anyone know what these small clear red eggs are on my live rock? Looks like they are stuck to the rock. Thanks

Nope not bubble algae. Not round in shape really. Has a few holes in them. Size is small. Hard to describe. Any ideas?? Thanks

well if you have clown fish then my best bet is that those our their eggs.

My Clarki lays eggs sometimes on the rock but are kinda orange. They cover maybe a 1 inch section with tiny orange beads. Not sure if other species of clowns have a different color.

Altho I never saw any babies. They probably eat them when I am not looking. Or maybe they are the size of seamonkies and I didn't notice them.

If there are holes, then most likely not eggs...

Could be a type of tunicate (sea squirt)
