Hard to tell the scale/size. Could it be bubble algae?

If not, maybe a sponge

if it were more green, I would say bubble algae. It should be hard and if it bothers you, you can pry it off? It doens't look like a branch from the BTA.

Definitely not an egg from a BTA (those are slightly less than 800 microns, so they're like the size of adult pods (between Apocyclops panamensis at ~700 and Tisbe biminiensis pods at ~900).

My first thought would be a closed up (and likely bleached) anemone or a tunicate of some kind, but I'm definitely not confident on that.

The smaller thing to the upper right looks like a sponge of some sort maybe the same only larger? Or it could be whatever that is the smaller one is the same thing too? just a thought Idk.....
