About 2 months ago I got a frag of rainbow clove polyps. They have been growing and spreading well. Recently, I have noticed a cluster of bubble algae right in the center of the colony. There are no other spots with the algae in my tank, just in the colony. Are there any suggestions on how to get rid of it without it spreading? Also, can it kill Coral?

No it will not kill coral.

Get some tank water in two good sized cups.
Pull the frag out , scrub the bubbles off , try not to pop them. It’s ok if you do. Rinse the frag in the first cup. You can add a little peroxide or coral cleaner. Rinse in second cup.
