Re: what is this on LR
I'm not certain by any means but it does look like the Botryocladia sp. algae. Lots of people call it simply red bubble algae but it is not.
Why it appears pitted like in your picture I don't know, however, some of the "bubbles" in this image are not pitted and hence why I thought it looked like the agae I mentioned. here is a bit more information about various types of bubble algae

Re: what is this on LR
Check out the Evil Emerald Crabs thread. Sounds like they eat bubble algae but can also become a pest.
