Noticed some bubble algae at the LFS right by my house on a powerhead. Would you buy anything from this store at this point?
 
BEFORE I had bubble algae in my tank... No, I wouldn't have bought anything. No reason to knowingly infect your system with a nuiscence algae...

Since I've already got bubble algae now, because I didn't see it on that frag... no worries :)
 
Vibrant kills it right off of it does make it into your tank. Absolutely no worries, but I still recommend coral dip and QT.
 
The closet LFS to me has aiptasia's all over their frag tanks. They're actually bigger than the frags in there! LOL. Dip your corals, scrape off the bubble algae, QT if possible...
 
i agree with all...if that is only problem i would not worry, if you see other problems like for instance i was in a LFS and saw flatworms, bubble algae and a few other algae's and turned around and saw a fish or two with health issues and one with ICK. used to be a clean LFS but you can tell they are just dumping and selling now and that is what you want to watch for in my opinion
