Red/orange bubble algea

Hi everyone
I found these guys growing on a price of live rock next to a zoa colony. They have finally spread enough to get a decent picture. They are pretty cool looking but seem to be spreading fast

Thanks for any help

Oh sorry yeah I was looking for an ID to determin if they were a nuisance or not. Thanks for the article.

It doesn't seem to be bubble algae & I guess that belongs to Nemastoma sp. and If you're in Canada, I'll like to trade or purchase some from you.

I'm in Edmonton ab but I have no idea how to transfer it with out killing it. I could try placing a shell by it and hope it grows on to it and then ship the shell to you?
