Ok so I was feeding my fish in my 10 gal temp tank where I have a pair of clowns and a cardinal for sale lol. And I put some chaeto in there for some added nutrient export. And I saw this....( see picture) it’s looks like bubble algae but it’s not green . I thought it was a baby bta but don’t have one of those in my main tank. Any ideas what I could be?

I would tend to think eggs as well. But could be red bubble algae although those usually look more oblong when I have seen it.

Well its always hard to tell w/out a scale. If they are large then I would assume red bubble algae one of the Botryocladia species.
