Question Please ID these small red blobs

Can someone please ID these small read blobs appearing on my LR - they are about 0.5cm long if I had to guess. Sorry for the bad photo - they are right at the back of the tank at a very awkward angle.

Check this out. Scroll down to Botryocladia skottsbergii. I'm not sure, but it does look like some kind of bubble algae to me.

Yeah, I agree. It's bubble algae, try not to bust them so as not to spread the spores... Do some searches on google and wikepedia as well as Reefkeeping magazine....

Good Luck and Happy Reefing!

And here I thought I might get some good news such as "Wow it is a rare kind of X!". Sigh... The battle continues.....
