To me it looks like a type of red bubble algae. Is it slimy to the touch? If so get it off the plug as it could spread like wild fire.

no it feels hard, doesn't feel slimy

 

[*SENSI*]

not hard soft to touch but not slimy feeling

It still looks like red bubble algae to me. Google it and see if it is the same.

razor blade will get it off?

It looks like red bubble algae like NUREEFIN says takee it off out side of the tank if the bubbles pop
inside your tank they might grow and spread inside your tank. Its a nuisance algae, it will grow
between your polyps not allowing the coral to spread.
