bubble algea

I have a 55 gal reef tank thats been running for about 6 years. Recently bubble algea has started to grow in the tank. what eats or gets rid of it. it is starting to spread all over! It looks like I have green marbles on my live rock.

not much you can do about it ... we minimize them by taking them out one by one carefully ...

My best sucess is take the rock out of the tank for a couple months and let it dry out.

Emerad crabs
- or pick it off being careful not to "pop" them as you may release spores and cause it to spread worse.
