I have a lps, mushrooms, zoa, clam reef tank that now has bubble algae growing in multiple places. It started with a snale that had it on its shell. Removed it but saw a patch pop up on my candy cane and rock near by. Remove candy cane and cleaned it off then glued it back. The patch on the rock I carefully removed but now is growing back. And had spread to other rocks. Most of the reef is glued together ... thought about emerald crab but afraid would nip corals or my clam. What are my options?
 
You could get some Vibrant and it will take a little time but will eventually eradicate your Bubble Algae issue. You can read all about it at the thread below.

Thank you. Read the Vibrant thread and will give it a try.

I tried everything. Fish, crabs, manual removal and it got so bad I almost shut the tank down. I was always scared of vibrant cause I’ve heard stories. And me having a sps tank I was super scared. Sucked it up and starting dosing vibrant every week, took about a month to really get going but has cleared every bubble in the whole system!

Ordered an 8oz bottle. Will give it a try
My concern is I have an awesome pod population feeding the mandarin. So hope this does not impact them.
