Drops

When the Red Bubble is defeated, one of 16 slots is picked at random, so each slot is a 6.25% chance.

DropChance
Recovery Heart ×3100%

Arrows need the Hero's Bow and bombs need a Bomb Bag; magic needs the magic meter. Without them that slot drops nothing. A Recovery Heart at full health becomes a Green Rupee.

The arrow that defeats it decides the drop, whatever the slot: a Fire Arrow gives 30 Arrows, an Ice Arrow a Recovery Heart, and a Light Arrow a Purple Rupee.

Where to find it

Official guide

A skull wrapped in red flames that lives in lava. Touching it sets you on fire. Block it with your shield and the flames go out, so you can defeat it with your sword.

ゼルダの伝説 ムジュラの仮面のすべて (エンターブレイン, 2000), p. 188: Translated by 101Leafy

They look like skulls surrounded by magic flame. As with the Blue Bubbles, arrows and Hookshots are the way to go.
