Identify: Red Planet Acro - Bubble “Growth”? w/Picture

[shawnriv]

Hello All,

Here is a picture of my Red Planet Acro that I’ve had for about a year. Growth has been slow, but I’ve noticed this bubble like mass on the end of the coral. This isn’t the first time this has happened; I’ve blown it off with a turkey baster the first time. Thanks!

Neither. I am tempted to chop that piece off.
