took off that frag lost a little bit of the bottom of it will it be okay? Putting it in drip now to clean it.

Should be fine. Yes, that was bubble algae. If you see any, try to get it out quickly. When it spreads, it gets harder to control.

That's just regular green film algae on the snails

Not sure what's on your snails. The top one looks like plain old GHA. Bottom almost looks like film algae unless it's just not in focus.

I take my snails out occasionally and give them a wipe with a hydrogen peroxide wetted (not soaked) paper towel. Just taking care not to touch their foot.

The bottom ones got the algae on it but looks to have a little bubble on it too. Will bubble Algae only look like a circular greenish little ball ?

Bubble algae is virtually inevitable in a reef tank but it's manageable too for the most part.

Read if everything saying emeralds are reed safe and I don’t even wanna try I’d go nuts seeing something snip at my corals . What’s an ideal fluval 13.5 reef safe CUC and anything that would actually east bubble algae ?

Manual removal is the most effective method in a nano tank. I use pithos crabs in mine. They are reef safe and chomp down on bubble algae.

You can try a pitho crab. Some eat bubble algae and I've never seen them eat coral. Emeralds on the other hand... Depends. Some come in taste testing everything, others stick to the bubble algae. All of them get lazy after a while and switch to eating your fish food.
