What are these Brown Bumps on my Acans?

[ekandler]

These are raised brown spots at the edges of the heads of my acans. The seem to be raised up and a little furry maybe. I tried to blow them off with a turkey baster but no luck. They are upsetting my acans and have been growing for about a month, not sure what it is. Any ideas? I don’t believe it’s brown jelly but I haven’t found anything online about something similar with other acans.

if this is what you’re referring to…

… then they’re hydroids.

That is what I’m referring to. I’ll look into that. Thanks!

Just to clarify, in this picture in particular, this is what I’m referring to (highlighted in yellow). From a quick Google i don’t know if they look like hydroids to me.

Bubble algae?

Don’t believe so. I was considering taking them out and brushing them but didn’t want to hurt the acans. Would that be bad?…
