Pics under white lights would help, but it looks like typical bubble algae(Valonia).

+1 on bubble algae

Usually try to manually remove the larger ones without popping them, and then certain crabs SOMETIMES will eat bubble algae, it just depends on the crab. I think most people have their best luck with Emerald Crabs.

Some people have also had luck with Fox Faces

Vibrant is the only thing that ever truly worked 100% for me.

Vibrant works so well it’s honestly scary.
