I had a major bubble algae outbreak last month. It was getting horrific. I threw 5 emerald crabs in. I watched them walk right over them without a care for about 3 weeks.

Then BAM. A week later, Bubble algae gone.

Is there any possibility that bubble algae can disappear on its own? Some sort of chemical balance either righted itself or additive I might have introduced?

Has this ever happened to anyone?
 
This happens relatively often with pest predators. It take them a while to get established, and eat anything else they consider better; Afterwards, they finally do their job.
