If you dont get the entire thing I dont see a point in doing anything to it. If you can I would remove the rock and use a hammer and screwdriver and "chisel" off a small peice of the rock with the algea on it. That way you dont have to worry about popping it.

Do not pop the bubble in the tank! I HAD one bubble, popped it when trying to remove it. Now I have millions.
