What is this clear sphere/bubble? Dino?

I can’t tell what this thing is in the crack of my liverock. I thought it was an air bubble, but when I tried to pop it, it feels like a jelly blob. I can’t seem to get it out of the hole it’s in. When I push it down, it comes back up. I might try to grab it with pliers or something. Any idea what it is? It’s the only one in the tank.

It just looks like a piece of bubble algea. But a clearer picture would be better.

Yup. Bubble algae

Yup. Bubble algae

Can I remove it without issue? Anything to be aware of?

Don’t pop it. Use a dental pick to remove it. It releases spores when popped and spreads like crazy. Just take it off rock and siphon it out or pull it out gently and throw away.

I would not worry about it to much I had some and when it seemed to become a problem I removed what I could eventually it began to show less frequently now I have never seen it come back.
