i have noticed that my live rock there is a piece of red slime algae that has some bubbles in it also. It also seems very " feather " like and is this bad?

it can be bad, can take over the tank. get some emrald crabs and it will be gone in a couple weeks. I had the same thing. as for the red hair, just try to pick it off the rocks. I did this a couple months ago and it is all gone and has not come back
