One thing that can be sure. They are algae.

I think sphere algae.... Have a Brown dot in the center yeah?

Nice when it covers the wole rock and increase in size.

[shoelevy]

hm is this good or bad?

[typrobin]

if it is hard then it can't be bubble algae...i think...

most prob some hitch hiking grapes...another version of the bigger ones that we usually see in LFS...

[shoelevy]

ya.

its darn hard.

almost like as if it had a hard shell

so its ok to let it be?

Hi,

looks like valonia algae.

"care should be taken not to break them after they are about 1/4" in diameter.. The larger ones can be mature and contain spores inside.. The spores are released when the bubble is broken (causing them to spread).. "

good luck.

hi,

just need to clarify that the attached doc was downloaded from the internet when i was searching infor abt valnia for my fren. i don't have and hope not to have valonia in my tank.

You can try to remove one piece and see if you could break the bubble using a separate container of course ...

valonia algae can be quite hard ... if it is use foxface to control it.
