Bubbles on stylophora

[BTimms]

Hi All,

I have been noticing these small bubble like formations on my stylo.
My parameters are all normal. No swings of any kind.

It is squishy to the touch and sort of retracts when touched.
Is it an algae? Disease?

Dang! Did you try to save it or removes the bubbles? Any idea what it was?

Nah i left it to run its course. It was SUPER slow it may have been saved by nipping and refragging... i just didnt do any of that

Glass algae?

Elevate this stylo. Looks like its lacking water flow and possibly light. Mine is at upper third and grows like crazy.

Thank you Vette.
It is mid way down on rockwork. I will move it up.
Do you think this could Be glass algae?

Its possible. Try blow it gently with a turkey baster to see if it dislodges.

It does not. It seems well stuck and gelatinous. I was thinking of pulling the piece and giving it a dip in peroxide or coral dip.

That actually would not hurt. 5-10 mins will be sufficient

Is it possible brown jelly disease?

It seems to be clear in colour.
