Algae growing at base of torch, bubble?

[Anubisxii]

Trying to get an idea of what it is, tried to blow it off with a pipette but I'm unable to it almost seems like it's like a hard resiny type of something I tried poking it and it's solid but translucent. Photos attached please let me know if you can give me any info.

THANKS,

Can you get a picture with more white lights on? What I can see it appears to be bubble algae.

 

[Anubisxii]

Let me know if that is better.

 

[WIReefer]

Yeah it appears to be bubble algae.

Okay thank you I'll start with some vibrant and do a little bit of research and see what I can figure out.

Make sure you do your research with vibrant!

You know I did read a few people say it killed corals, I do have a mixed reef so I am nervous to use it. I'll look at some past threads. Thanks fully it's just that one coral with a few bubbles.

Glad I caught it early. And thanks again for the id

Just use it per instructions and you should be fine. Vibrant wiped out my bubble in about 6 weeks. No other issues. I've been dosing a little under recommendation for 4 months because of my emergence of GHA. Not doing great with that IMHO.

Thank you for the info. Yea gha is never fun I know manual removal is the best bet with that. I plan on giving vibrant a shot, just going to do some research before hand.
