Hi,
I noticed today that there is suddenly a bunch of bubble algae on my corals and rocks. About two months ago, my emerald crab disappeared, and I assume he is dead, especially with the rise of bubble algae and bryopsis algae. I’d get another emerald crab, but my previous one was a monster. Clearly, however, the crab did a good job fighting algae, despite the many snail and starfish casualties. Should I chance purchasing another one, or are there other (preferably non-chemical) methods of removing this new algae? Thanks!
