Are you sure it's not Valonia? or is that the same thing - never heard it called that in the UK

[Warr7207]

You are 100% correct. I will keep it for the moment

It looks like what we here call "bubble algae." I don't think it's caulerpa, but I doubt anyone could tell you for sure from that photo. Any chance you could get a clearer one?

If it is bubble algea (I think it is also known as sailors eyeball algae) try not to pop it.

Actually a real name ! Did some quick looking up, don't think it is that as it is limited to a certain area.
I would go for the normal bubble algae though !

If you do pop it, it will spread, if you want to get rid - if poss remove the rock its on and gently twist it off.

I heard doubt in your voice. The voices in my head told me so.
