    Just noticed these when I had the actinics on, but I'm sure they've always been there. Anyone know what they are?

    Looks like some form of macro algae.

    Looks like a red bubble algae of some kind. No skeleton, and it's not connected like a mat.

    Thanks. They look like cylinders coming off the rock.
