Bubble Algae?
That was my initial thought but the lfs here has bubble algae in a display tank and it looks very different to that tbh . The bubble algae was super dark green and this is definitely a reddish colour I feel

Yeah. The color is off for sure, but there is obviously round fluid filled vessels, and bubble algae is not always that emerald green.
