What is this?????
I have some red bubble looking things in my 2 and half month old tank,,,the tank was up and running 3 years but with someone else.
Is this bubble algae or something else,,,,it is confined to one live rock and a few of these are on one of my powerheads. |

looks like bubble algae to me. If it is on just one rock I would remove it and clean it. Good luck they can be stubborn.

sounds like bubble algae.
Strawberry/emerald crab could be helpful. But as above, if its on one rock, get it out and sterilize it!

I have two emerald crabs in the tank but haven't seen them since I added them. Lol are we sure it is bubble algae? I busted one and it was very firm but seemed to only have air inside.

u break them and the tiny spores inside them, goes and seeds into colonies of bubble algae.
