Re: what the devil are these red balloons?!

99 red balloons
Floating in the summer sky.
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else.
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye.
Focusing it on the sky
Where 99 red balloons go by.

Cyanomorphphillia? lol not a clue man

Re: what the devil are these red balloons?!

hard to tell but it looks like maybe the start of Haliptilon roseum, a branching coraline algae that spreads/starts with bubbles like that. let grow some. might be kelp. i dont think its anything to be too worried about.

na no worries, Botryocladia skottsbergii(Rhodophytes) or also called Kelp red algae (Rhodophyta) sometimes refered to as red bubble algae but its only similar in looks during this time, later it will brach out, its harmless. its not red valonia.
