Noticed this on one of my rocks amongst some GHA, floats like some kind of balloon stuck to the rock. Does anyone know what it is?

Olá boa noite amigo, isto parece alga Velonia. Não se deve estourar pois irá proliferar pelo seu aquário

Translation:
Hello good evening friend, this looks like Velonia algae. It should not be burst as it will proliferate throughout your aquarium.

Looks like bubble algae
Get rid of it
 
Bubble Algae, if you see more, invest in a Mithrax Crab. You can even find them "guaranteed" to eat bubble algae.
I’ll keep an eye out, do they have a tendency to eat corals or snails?
 
Bubble algae can be very pretty though if you let it grow certain if it’s not a nuisance, you can turn almost size and be very shiny and very pretty like a glass stone
