They look like a jellybean red with white specles . One on roundish rock and one in middle of pic between two pieces of live rock.

not sure what it is really called but i call it red bubble algae and its harder to get rid of than the green
 
is it a sealed bubble or does it have a mouth on the end? I have something that looks really similar. It has a mouth and the end that I see open and close when it gets disturbed. Mine has been in the same place for a couple months and has not moved, grown, or miltiplied. I would assume it is harmless if we have the same thing.
 
Not shure on mouth it has white on it the one you can't see. Why did bottom of pic not show up in photo like it shows in pic before I send it to this site ?
 
Are you talking about the red stuff on the rocks? I think I was looking at the wrong part of the pic!

Any chance it's coraline?
 
It doesn't look like an algae. Based on the pic I would almost bet its a sponge or tunicate. Keep an eye on it to see if it spreads. If it really makes you nervous, you could physically remove it. Although I doubt its any reason for concern.
