They aren't bubbles

Could it be the start of bubble algae? If so how do I get rid of it? I have vibrant but don't have emerald crabs

What's the best solution?

If it's bubble algae, get a few emerald crabs. It will be gone before you know it.

Could be some Ulva there, as well - that's what I'm seeing, anyway. Sometimes called "sea lettuce", it can be annoying, but there are things that eat it - including humans.

Fwiw, Ive never had an emerald eat my bubble algae. But I have had some starve in my tank.
If you can get the rock out you can use a scrub brush or toothbrush and a light peroxide solution. Or just a toothbrush to remove it. Personally Id either leave it and see what happens or put it in my refugium.

I wish I could salty. It's a one tank system.

I have some codium growing in my tanks. I kinda like it. It died in my fuge and has popped up in two spots in the display in the last 5 month or so. I bought it almost two years ago from an Asia market in a salad mix.

[saltyfilmfolks]

If you click through the link I sent you'll see not only positive id's but some obviously poor Id's as well but do look similar.

In this link you'll also find many similar algaes as well as the multitude of of algaes in the family of the Ulva algae.

I guess everyone's experiences are different, we have had 3 bouts of bubble algae over the years and every time, the emerald crabs get rid of it within a week.
