Does anyone know what this is . I thoght it was bubble algae at first but now i am not so sure. Its not green or clear its pinkish purple and the moon light setting brings out bright orange when they first pop out but end up a flat gray head with what looks like holes.

This is our first tank . 16G biocube. We have had it up for a few months and this recently started growning out of our live rock. Any help thanks

can you take photos under white lightning ?
 
They look like tunicates. I'm fairly new to saltwater and its various life forms but these look similar to pics I have seen. If that's what they are they're filter feeders. I think they're harmless but others with more experience in IDing saltwater creatures will chime in for sure.

Yes I has that too, just take out the rock and pick them off. Red bubble algae was getting annoying and emerald crabs didn’t do anything
 
Red bubble algae , take the rock out and remove them , avoid popping them in the water .
if this doesn't work you can use the chemical route of dosing vibrant .
