I’m doing a water change and noticed this bubble on the return pump. My first thought was pineapple sponge but it looks different? Any ideas of what it might be are appreciated!

It's not bubble algae is it? It's hard to say, do you have any pics under better (whiter) lighting? Using flash maybe?

Probably not likely but do you have a bubble coral in the tank? Sorry I don't have a better answer but you got a bump for more to see. ;)

It did not look like bubble algae. I used the shop vac to get rid of all of it in case it popped and spread.

No bubble coral but that is the closest thing I have seen that looks like what it was. I appreciate the bump!
