Those are green palys, a type of coral. Like larger zoanthids. Should be harmless.

this is a better photo but Iโ€™m wondering in the second photo can you see those green bubbles on the rock? I touched it and it was really hard.

Might be closed up plays or zoas. If youโ€™re talking about the hard green bubble those look like bubbly algae. And emerald crab will do a good job at eating it. But nothing to worry about.

yeah, I was closed up. I was just confused on what it was because all I bought was the bubble tip and then I got the rock with it and they had a whole bunch of other stuff on there.

That live rock you got will have a ton of great mature bacteria that will help establish a healthy ecosystem. How old is your tank?

iโ€™ve had it for about two months which I really wished like. I waited to get the bubble tip however at the store they said my tank is completely fine and I was talking to them for about 30 to 40 minutes about it. They said I could go on ahead and get it and this is my first time dealing with a salt water tank. I finally had freshwater.

Do I remove the bubble allergy myself?

You can remove it if you want but not a big deal. Emerald crabs are cool and will eat bubble algae.
