Can anyone identify what this is?

[Hughes1990]

I just got this out of my tank can anyone tell me what it is?

I don't recognize it by itself, it might be helpful to post a full tank shot and someone might be able to identify what it belongs to in your tank. Is it fluid filled? Do you have macroalgae in the tank? Any fish missing a kidney?

Looks like a piece of cherry gummy bears. I might be wrong though.

Looks like bubble algae but I've never seen it in this color

Looks like red bubble algae but that’s just a guess. Not too common but I’ve seen it before

As above, there are red bubble algae strains. Which one it is, I have no idea as algae can be a very complicated creature.

Is that gold fish flakes? Your swimming in money to feed that to fish

It's Botryocladia. I threw a bunch of random macro algae scraps in this clown fish tank over a year ago and there was just a bare stem at one point from the botroyocladia. and a lot of it started wasting away, then I dosed nutrient with iodine a few months ago. Red macro algae loves iodine and low light apparently. I have a carpet of this stuff now.
