Hard to tell from your picture. Does it look like this? You can also find some info regarding red bubble algae in this article.

It does not look quite like that pic they seem to be single bubbles on stem with a disk shaped top kind of like a toadstool.
Heres a couple of mre pic's i hope might be better.

Any info on what would eat this or be the best way to get rid of it
would be great

thanks

Sorry the links are about as close to an id as I can get. For control/removal the best way would be to remove the rock pull them off out side the tank rinse really well with tank water and put the rock back, then continue this again if necessary. If you cant remove the rock then use a siphon hose, point it right at the algae close, and as you remove the algae use the siphon to suck it out. This will help to remove any possible released spores as you pull the algae.

GYW Thanks for the help. I'll do the scrubing & siphoning on the
next few water changes and maybe i'll get it licked soon
Thanks again

I love the look of that algae.
I only know Caribbean spp. and I can't find anything remotely resembling that. Where'd you live rock come from?
