bubble algae questions

[joshuawilliamson21]

A couple of rocks in my tank have been covered in bubble algae and a good friend of mine told me to get emerald crabs and a sally light foot crab but they're not doing a very good job so are there any other ways to clear the bubble algae up?

How big is your tank and how many crabs do you have in there?

 

[joshuawilliamson21]

60 gallon (90 including the sump) 1 sally light foot 4 hermit crabs and 7 emeralds

Is the rock easily accessible? I have pulled out rock and picked off the bubble algae. I then rinse with water from the tank before putting it back in. You could also pop the sacs next to a siphon then scrape off the anchoring piece of the algae.
