I've had these bubbles appear on my Bonsai Garf and now my Vivd tricolor SPS. Trying to identify if they are a disease or a form of bubble algae. I don't have any bubble algae in my system and emerald crabs if it ever appears. These bubbles are on the flesh of the coral and not the stick portions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it is possible, rare but possible, for acros (or any coelenterate for that matter) to bounce, like how bounce mushrooms grow expanded vesicles. It shouldn't be an issue, the coral seems happy and healthy. Who knows, maybe if the colony grows more you could sell frags of it as an OG bounce bonsai xD
In all seriousness though, I wouldn't worry. It actually looks kinda cool!
Good day and God bless.
 
On the Bonsai garf it looks damaged after the bubbles popped. Of course, I let it do its thing and didn't touch it. The other thought is that I have a lot of mushrooms in the tank so there could be a little bit of chemical warfare even though they are not touching. I regularly cut out mushrooms because they are over crowding several corals.
