bubble algae

[marsmi]

Just wanted to know if anyone has any idea how to control bubble algae. Im not sure how I got it but it sure is in my tank now. I have 125 gal with w/d filter and skimmer. I dont want it to overrun my coral and my live rock is starting to look like a carbonated drink. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :?

Emerald crabs could help. Otherwise, just grab it with some needlenose and pull it out. Just be careful not to pop it. That is the quickest way to spread it.

If you can remove the rock and pull the bubbles off with either your fingers or needlenose. Just grab the base where it is attached to the rock. With a 125, you probably won't be able to get out all of the rocks, but maybe a few of the rocks you can try...this makes it easier to pull the algae off, in my opinion. Another option is to cover a small colony up with something like an empty clam shell. This will deprive the algae of light.

Hope this helps!
