Does anyone have any idea what these are? They just appeared one day attached to a small GSP frag and this morning, One of them has hatched. What in the world came out of it?

Thanks in Advance.

Anyone? Wondering if I should get the other one out of my tank before it too hatches.

Red Bubble algae. Try not to pop them when you remove them.

Thank you! Researched it by the name you gave and found more info. One popped overnight but it seems chances are slim it will spread with the flow and filtration I have. Going to get the remaining one out now.

You're very welcome.

Sea Grapes (which is their common name) don't spread rapidly like green bubble algae does. You should be in good shape.
