What is the best way to get rid of bubble algae. It's only on one rock. I've tried manually removing as much as I can, but can't get it all. I've read about emerald crabs, but worry as they get bigger they will go after fish. What other options do I have?
 
You can inject them with a syringe with muriatic acid. Just a little goes a long way.

If your system is big enough you can get a foxface rabbit fish.
 
I have used a kalk paste on it and manual removal. I still see a bubble every now and then but it hasn't returned in full force like it was before.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
