[Budman's Corals]

Ok i pretty sure this is bubble algae,but whats the best way to get it off,I can take this Brain out also

Take it out try to cut under the base of the algae. Try not to pop them. Rinse to get any small pieces off.

A 5 gal bucket and siphon hose works for bubble algae , I had a real bad case of red bubble algae and used this method , but I also bought a foxface and did a better job of removing ALL of the bubble algae . No More bubbles in my tank !

but in a frag tank?

If you can remove the rock to perform following do so. You can get under the base and twist them off in one piece. Then I scrape and rinse the area they where attached to and reinsert into tank. This gets any left over residue. You can do the same in tank but be careful and have siphon hose going just in case. If it is a frag tank, removal of the frag or rock is best. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I have 2 emerald crabs in my 65gal tank with the foxface , the foxface did all the work and the crabs never touched the bubble algae !

Thanks everyone for the help.Im going to clean if outside the tank and then rinse a couple times b4 I put back in ..also might get a crab to see if he will help if not i can always add another in the main display

Any type of Foxface will work?

I had an E crab that never touched the stuff. Guess with them it's hit or miss. So I just manually remove it via siphon during water change. Works for me :)
