How to deal with Bubble Algae

[((FORDTECH))]

Many many Emerald crabs for the win

Emerald crabs from reef cleaners took care of my bubble algae issues! A little comes up here and there and they attack!

I’ve had several emerald crabs and they have done nothing to control my emeralds green bubble algae

Nothing beats a foxface

My biota yellow tang eats bubble algae. Won’t eat anything I feed my other fish, frozen or pellets.

2 foxface in my tank and other doctors with no results. Also 3 emerald crabs. Maybe I should more but as some people says they eat also corals, I'm not sure..

Try dislodging some bubble algae to see if they eat free floating ones. Sometimes it needs a little training to get them to understand that it is food. This is how I got my two barred rabbitfish to eat bubble algae.

OK I will try that

Take a small needle and have 3/8 tubing ready and attach to end of tubing with rubber band and pop each one and siphon at same time- You will have removed all spores and foreign material in area.
Had to do this in the past with birdsnest coral and was gone 100%.
Other option is to add pitho crabs or emerald crabs (which I do not trust) which will eat them
