Looked everywhere! Anyone know what this is?

Came with my rock and at first I figured it was Coralline since it was just a very tiny spot on the rock. Over the last month or so it have grown about 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch tall. It is not solid because I poked it with a stick and it seems to be somewhat soft but not too soft. If you look at it from the top of the tank it seems to have bright orange tips that are oddly shaped.

its bubble algae be careful taking it out as it releases spores or whatever and it spreads all over your tank

Thanks I looked at the greed bubble algae and it looked nothing like this stuff lol. My hermit crabs, cleaner shrimp or snails wont do the trick?

I read on a planted tank forum and also saw a thread here on hydrogen peroxide working well on hair algae. maybe give it a spay or dip after removing the algae to get rid of any remainder

It's red bubble algae. I have some in my tank as well. It doesn't spread as fast as green bubble algae. I just remove it with tweezers. I know everyone says don't pop them but I haven't noticed it spreading any faster if I do.
