Hi guys does anyone know what this is? I have just found on my rocks cant see anymore, was just this?

 

[CO2TLEY]

It looks like bubble algae to me

 

[Jamers442]

Is it a bad thing?

Is it a bad thing?

Most people don't like it

It's not a fast grower

It's one of the least nuisance of nuisance algae

"Don't pop it, you'll make it spread!!!"

Get some emerald crabs they will eat it.

It was all over one of my small soft corals so ive took it out and gave it a little clean I was wondering why it wasnt opening up for a couple of days

It is considered a pest algae and can takeover/smother if not dealt with.

If you can pull rocks where it is present, do so and scrape or brush it off. Rinse the rock before returning to the tank. In the tank, scrape it off and use a siphon to suck away the debris

Yeah, I’ve been there. You have to be careful, but it can be done. Once you finish your fallow period, you can dump a few emerald crabs in there and they can usually keep it managed. I keep 3 in my 32 gallon setup and I seldom have to do more than pull the loose bubbles off the intakes

I’ve read pitho crabs are better for bubble than emerald.

I find it way easier just to pull the ones out I see.
It's been proven that if they pop it doesn't spread them. So don't worry about that.

I have heard that as well, but I’ve never tried them. My crew seems to keep up with the job just fine

I had a friend who called her fondue parties

Bubbles and Squeak

Because of the boiling oil, and the sound it made

It’s last nights peas cooked in a frying pan with mashed potatoes and it bubbles and squeaks. So yeah. That close. It’s a Brit thing.

Next time I do an order when they have everything I’m looking for in stock I plan to get a couple. Want to make the shipping fee worth it.
