    tips on viewing at night?

    i've put red plastic wrap over my flashlight, but as soon as i turn it on, i see a ton of stuff go scurring away, much too quick for me to identify. is there anyway i can watch at night without them seeing? is red plastic wrap not enough? maybe my flashlight is too strong? any tips on night viewing?

    red bubble algae?

    i know there's green bubble algae, but is there red? I've had some red cyano algae lately, most likely due to phosphates, but tonight there appear to be red bubbles on the cyano. would an emerald crab eat these? and would he eat my baby corals and tunicates if i added him?
