    I have these strange things on my overflow! At first I thought it was a mushroom so I tried to get it off but they are soft and squishy like a zoa but they dont open like a zoa and I don't know how a zoa would have gotten to the overflow. If you can see these well let me know. They kinda pop like a zoa does and not like green bubble algea but they have bubbles kinda like green algea except in clusters. They pop really easily! They are a reddish pinkish color. These are the best pics I could get but I took one off and put it in the sump on top of my cheato to see if I could get a better pic so that is what the one is of. You can see where the two popped and I was very gentle to take them off! Anyone have any ideas? They are no where else in my tank!! Should I worry about them and if yes how do I get them off without popping or going into my overflow?
