I know it may be hard to tell from the pic, but today I noticed three clear oval bubbles growing on my live rock. They are about a 1/2" long and about 1/4" wide. They each have 2 tiny dots in the center one is green and one is white. I also noticed this weekend I had either to clams, oysters or mussels growing on 2 separate live rock. This is not a new tank. It has been up and running for approximately 6-7 years. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I don't know about you guys, but I can't discern anything. I'd say turn down/off the blue lights if possible. Nearly all cameras suck at taking pics with tons of blue light.

Looks like a sponge.

Could be bubble algae. Does it have a semi-hard shell? If so, I'd get rid of them quickly as they will spread everywhere. Mr. Saltwater has a video posted on removing them properly.

I agree, need a better pic.

I vote sponge but whiten up your lights and snap a new pic

Okay here is a picture without the light on. There are 2 small bubbles on the small light colored rock in the middle. I do not think they are bubble algae, I have had bubble algae before and this looks nothing like it. These are clear and oval not round and green.

They look like those "sea squirt" things. If that's the case, totally harmless. My Lamarck angel ate them.

Thank you C.Sharkdude. I googled sea squirts and that is exactly what they look like.
