My tank has had bubble algae I tried the suction it out method and it did not go well at all . I’ve also tried using crabs but they didn’t do anything I’m also scared they would mess with my coral . I now think the algae will spread a lot due to what happen . Is there anything I can do to help ?!

Foxface rabbit generally will nip and eat it.
My best success in removal was use of Liquid Vibrant. Dose it at 80% of recommended and remove chaeto into a bucket if you have any during treatment.

Won't damage anything. It's just bacteria! You will need to keep an eye on your parameters as they will start to rise as it dies off and there is nothing taking up excess nutrients. Manual removal will help speed up the process
