What are these things in my coral?

[renatoi]

First, forgive me if this is not the right place to ask, I'm a beginner so I'm still learning.

A few weeks ago I bought this coral and it came with these small spheres that look like black eggs or something around it. I didn't know what it was but I thought it might be important or part of the coral. Now I'm not so sure because I can't see it right but it seems like there are small things inside of it now.

Can you help me tell if this is normal or what it is? Should I remove it? Should I quarantine it?

Any info is welcome. Thanks!

Looks like bubble algae. Bad. Don’t pop them in the tank otherwise they will release spores. Take the coral out of the tank and remove the algae that way.

Agreed on bubble Algae. Can be a pain to control sometime but not impossible like some algae. Try to carefully remove them without busting. preferably out of the tank if possible

Thanks a lot guys, looks like it is. I'll remove it outside of the tank.

I would try not to pop them. Even if you do or don’t pop any, I would give it a good rinse in salt water before putting back in the tank (maybe pair it up with a water change so you don’t waste salt water.
Again, not the worst pest to deal with but can be tricky since only a few things eat bubble algae naturally.
