that looks like cyanobacteria. If you get your nutrients in check and increase flow it’ll go away. As a last resort chemiclean works well.
Bubble algae is much tougher. honestly after trying to eradicate it for almost two years I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s almost impossible. You’ll hear some success stories with emerald crabs, foxfaces, rabbit fish, urchins and even some tangs. Some have beat it with vibrant, one thread even recommended antibiotics. In the end I let it be and when it gets way out of hand I manually remove it so it’s not visible. I also have a crew of emeralds and urchins that displace it from the rocks making it easier to net out. In some areas the coral and coralline growth overtook the algae.
