Green Bubble Algae

The Saltwater Kid · 09/14/2006, 01:07 PM

What else takes care of bubble algae besides an Emerald Crab, anything? My Emerald Crab wasn't interested in my algae instead he took to munching on my Sun Polyps. Needless to say the little b@tch is out of my tank. I don't have a huge problem with bubble algae, a couple of spots here and there but would like to control/get rid of it before it spreads too much.

I would like to get rid of it WITHOUT moving my rockwork...it's on my centerpiece rock and there's no way I want to disrupt my whole tank to get it.

You don't need to remove your rock. Get some tweezers, a hose for siphon and pull it off with the hose near to grab and spores/chunks that come off with it.
