Guys I just noticed some bubbles on the bottom of my Sinularia. Can anyone help identify what it is? My parameters are all normal. Thanks.

By the way the bubbles are very hard. They are not slimy either.

its still on the plug so you might want to consider taking it out, scrubbing them off and rinse WELL.

Mr. Saltwater Tank has a good video about removing them. I would be pretty proactive about getting rid of them, as they can spread everywhere.

Definitely bubble algae. Remove as much as possible very gently trying not to pop any bubbles. Do this in a qt or 5 gallon bucket. Do a good rinse. Get an emerald crab.

Emerald crabs don't always eradicate it, but will help. I keep 2 in the sump that I can put in qt with frags that have bubbles.
