Botryocladia sp. of some kind (forgive me, I don't the species) - it's a kind of "Red Grape Algae," by the looks of it, though, so it's likely a keeper:

I’m not an expert, but it looks to me like it may also be “Red Grape Algae” (to my understanding, both red bubble algae and red grape algae are Botryocladia spp.) - red grape is typically considered positive, red bubble is not. My understanding is that if the bubble is growing on a stalk (if it has a stem), then it’s red grape; if there’s no stalk/stem (just a bubble not raised off the surface of whatever it’s growing on), then it’s red bubble.

I too call it grape bubble but is indeed Botryocladia sp.

Thank you. I was gifted this tank it’s 32
Gallon bio cube and had a lot of pieces of devils hand coral along with 2 fish and a brittle starfish. It’s been running for 6+ years but most of the cleanup crew have since passed so I’ve only noticed 2 tops hermits and one snail ( sorry don’t know the name but it’s got a long snout , cute little fella) When I got it it was becoming overcome with green hair algae. I’m trying to get rid of it but it’s been a long long time since I had a saltwater tank. I’m basically starting over

Many algae consumers especially rabbit fish and tangs will eat this stuff readily

We are finding small things as we attempt to clean this up. These showed up tonight is this a type of mushroom?
