New algae growth staring to affect coral extension.

[PreziosoReef]

Tank is 4 months old…. Cleared small cyano outbreak about a month ago. Now I have new algae growth but with micro bubbles everywhere. Back wall, on snails, and even around leather polyps (see pic). I have little green machine UV light but removed it after last algae outbreak cleared. Any ideas on ID of this and best way to clear. Thanks in advance for the help.

Valonia ventricosa otherwise known as bubble algae. Don't pop the bubbles they're full of water and spores which will release even more into your tank. Try using an Emerald Crab, manual remove and nutriant control. Reduce the feeding. It's an early stage of a tank cycle.

Do be wary on emerald crabs as once the algae goes, they'll start on your corals.

I have a few bubble algae and I would say that this isn’t that. I added 2 more pics. It’s growing on the glass…. Hundreds of tiny little air bubbles. I added a pic of the bubble algae.

theres cases of it being translusant in the early stages/dying stages.

touch it, if it pops to the touch it's an air bubble most likely.
