In case you come across other algaes you can't identify

A Simple Guide To Common Problematic Algae And The Means To Control It..

As we all know algae is inevitable in both Marine and fresh water aquariums and if not watched and without proper procedures for removal can quickly turn a beautiful aquarium in to something that resembles a scene out of a old Swamp thing episode. Some are easy to control some are a non stop...

Ahh maybe an old wives tale that if you pop it, it spreads. Either way get it out lol

Female crabs seem to more consistently eat bubble algae.

When I remove it from my frag tank and feed it to my foxface, he will eat so much he looks like he has marbles in his tummy, lol!

It's the easiest algae to deal with IMO.

But it will matter if you "poop" it.

Haha just realized my phone went straight to pooping instead of popping. Guess thats what happens when you have a child in the midst of potty training.

Mine won’t either, added a female emerald crab and haven’t seen it since two days after I added it (about a month and a half ago) so not sure what happened but I beleive it’s dead. Looking into pitho crabs but their hard to find, heard their really good at eating bubble algae
