Can anybody tell me what type of algae this is? I'm pretty sure it's some sort of cyano/spirulina. But I would just like some second opinions, and how best to deal with it. It's starting to grow around my coral frags and would like to get rid of it before it does any damage. It also was growing all over the rocks with little bubbles in it, but I blew them off. Whatever it is, it blows off the rockwork very easily.

I can already see new bubbles forming on the rocks.

Have same bubbles but no sign of cyano yet.
 
Looks like cyano, chemiclean will take care of it
