I hope i posted this in the right forum. I was wondering what fish or invert will eat bubble algae. My nano is filled with bubble algae and it taking over some of my corals. Just wanted a little input on what will keep these bubble algae under control. Thanks in advance for any helpful tips.

Emerald crabs are known for eating bubble algae, and you can pick as much as you can out by hand
I am starting to get some bubble algae as well. How do you pick it out by hand? I haven't tried but I would assume that it is stuck to the rocks in some way.

If you are gentle you can get it off the rocks without busting it. If it is in a hard to reach area you will have to employ something to eat it.
