is that bubbles i see on this stuff. If thats the case, most likely it is something that uses photosynthesis. Likely some sort of algae or photosynthetic bacteria like cyano.

Looks like cyano to me. What kind of flow and filtration do you have?

I see exactly what you're talking about - deep brown semicircle wit a paler, patterned rim and a white pattern at the "center" (or what would be the center of a full circle). Almost looks like some kind of mushroom coral or tunicate, but . . . that's a weird, cool thing!

Possibly @Lionfish Lair can offer some insight . . . She's awesome at hitchhikers!

RED CRUSTOSE CORALLINE ALGAE

 

[Animagus]

Does it move around or is it stationary? How does it feel to the touch?

If I had to guess I'd probably go with a fleshy Limpet right now.

More specific, the brown one is Rhodaophyta sp.

I don't think it's mushroom coral or ricordea, I can't identify any bubble-like shapes @Maritimer. Gotta go with @stevo01, to me it looks like Red Crustose Coralline Algae.

It can outcompete some corals, so be aware of that. Have a look at the links we have posted for you :)

Cheers Cant seem to find any Thing on fighting it. Så i dosent takes over. My Aquarium is covered alot in Coraline but as u can See in the side its also drak red. And not Cyano.

Urchins eat coralline. There is always something that exists to compete or control something else. It's nature taking care of itself. Good luck.
