Bubble algae?

Sounds like bubble algae to me.
Some say they have had luck with a foxface fish eating it. Other claim emerald crabs will too. But one thing is for sure u will need to get your phosphates down in your system.

Also do not pop it in your tank. That fluid inside the bubble has tiny spores that will cause more bubble algae to grow.

Thanks for your input guys seems like it my phospates still not in check

If you can pull the rock out that has the algae growing on it and turn the bubbles like a light bulb to dislodge it from the rock, thats your best bet for manual removal.

Inject muracid acid in there use Syringe with Needle, just a tiny bit and than let it go.
It will kill the spores and the bubble it self.

Does that effect the tank at all?

In my limited expierence with bubble algae, I have found my emerald crabs to have quite an appetite for that nasty stuff!
