What is this? Pics
What is this stuff? They just sprung up lately. The bubble looking things I'm guessing are some kind of bubble algae? They're about the size of peas and have been stuck to the rock for weeks now.
The green thing on the right in the first pic I'm guessing is some sort of coral. I've got several of these sprouting up. different angle |

Yep, looks like you have bubble algae. When you remove, try not to pop them. I'm guessing the other green thing is also some type of algae if it is a really fast grower. Corals usually grow fairly slow.

It's bubble algae and Codium, which is also a type of algae.

Bubble algae. Try not to pop it if you manually extract it. You'll have bubbles everywhere.
