I have a 90 gallon corner tank. It is four months old doing wonderful. I have one small round shiny black pearl looking growth. It looks like a round egg. Any ideas? Thanks.

bubble algae. A nuisance algae. don't break it or it will spread. If you have a syphon for water changes try removing it with that.

Definitely sounds like bubble algae, also known as Valonia sp. or Ventricaria sp.
See this article on the nuisance (http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-02/hcj/feature/index.php).
