Is the green bubble algae bad?Lepto as well. BTW, noticed green bubble algae to the bottom left of coral. Would remove asap and hope you can take rock out to do it.
Its not bad per say, but it can and will get out of hand if you let it. If you plan on removing it so it doesn't grow in unwanted places, do not pop them. If you pop the bubbles, hundreds of its spores will spread around the tank and grow. Be very gentle when taking them off. Use a scraper of some sort and stick it underneath the bubble algae, that worked for me. Alternatively, purchase an emerald crab, they eat those.Is the green bubble algae bad?
Thanks! Haha the person I bought the tank from just told me to “smush green bubbles when I see them”. Good to know what they actually areIts not bad per say, but it can and will get out of hand if you let it. If you plan on removing it so it doesn't grow in unwanted places, do not pop them.

And to answer your post, it looks like a lepto.
That’s actually been proven false. If you pop them nothing happens.Its not bad per say, but it can and will get out of hand if you let it.

Do I dip it before putting it in the 10 gallon? How long should it be in the 10 gallon?the second pic looks like chalice maybe. To avoid pest set up little 10 gallon quarantine tank and dip all new corals with coral RX or something similar.
Depends on how you get the coral if it's shipped overnight in a 24-hour bag from an online vendor then they're too stressed out to dip right away most of the time I would put it in the 10 gallon tank at this moment give it a few hours to 4 or 5 hours let it get used to where it's at then I would dip it and put it back in the tank I would then leave it there for a couple of weeks under observation watching it to make sure that you don't see any creepy-crawlies crawling around it on it or off of it make sure there's no apt Asia anemone growing off of it as they are super small at first. you can also do multiple dips in between days or within a couple days if it's a caral you bought at your local fish store I'd bring it home dip it right away then put it in the 10 gallon for observation. Usually do observation foe a few weeksDo I dip it before putting it in the 10 gallon? How long should it be in the 10 gallon?
Yikes! Ok I’d be ordering online. Thanks for the tips!!!Depends on how you get the coral if it's shipped overnight in a 24-hour bag from an online vendor then they're too stressed out to dip right away most of the time I would put it in the 10 gallon tank at this moment give it a few hours to 4 or 5 hours let it get used to where it's at then I would dip it and put it back in the tank I would then leave it there for a couple of weeks under observation watching it to make sure that you don't see any creepy-crawlies crawling around it on it or off of it make sure there's no apt Asia anemone growing off of it as they are super small at first. you can also do multiple dips in between days or within a couple days if it's a caral you bought at your local fish store I'd bring it home dip it right away then put it in the 10 gallon for observation.
