Bubble algea

[Stuart Willis]

Hey all

Just noticed a few bubbles on my rock, is it best to just pick them out with a siphon tube ? I can't really take the rock out of tank due to my bubble tip anemone
I didn't add pics because I know what it is just wanna know best way to keep it under control

Thanks

Stuart

Probably, although I've never had any problems just ripping them out with my fingers right before a water change. Your going to have to keep your eyes peeled for more regardless. Staying ahead of them is key. GL.

Emerald Crabs are great to combat Bubble Algae from what I've read, fwiw.

Ir it's easy and you won't stir too much stuff up then yea it's actually best imo.

I would grab a bunch of snails. Theory being they eat the spores and bubbles before we see them.
