Is This Bubble Algae?

[sffinn01]

I was just securing my torch back to the rock and found this thing on the side and was curious what it was and if its bubble algae, but there's just one little bubble and nowhere else.

Yup. Emerald crabs seem to do a pretty good job on it. If it's just the one then you could slice it off at the base with a razor and rinse the frag well in a cup of tank water before placing it back in the tank. Take care not to pop the bubble if you can.

It definitely is. I know you just found the one but it’s almost a guarantee that it’s not the only one. Cut it off but don’t be surprised if you find more. Emerald crabs are the go to bubble algae eaters but I never trust a crab. I wouldn’t add one unless you notice it becoming an issue.
