id these eggs, macro, or what is it?

i bought a handful of chaeto from a lfs and these red/purplish bubbly things came with it. they have orange specs on them and one of them is punctured. the amphipods that also came with the chaeto seem to be playing inside the punctured bubble! i asked the worker at the lfs and he said they are macro algae (but which kind)?

sorry about the horrible shots. i only have a camera phone. i used a small flashlight.
