I don’t think it’s regular bubble algae. I think it is called red valonia. The spots on it are actually fluorescent orange. It probably wasn’t three weeks ago my wife and I pulled every rock out one by one and pulled all of them off with tweezers doing our best not to pop any of them. This is just one rock, but they are everywhere again. They hold their shape pretty well and are easier to get a picture of out of the tank.

That was next on my list of things to try, but wanted to see if there were any other options first.
I don’t have any tangs in my system. Only a 75, but after reading this article, I didn’t think tanks would touch them either.I actually try to grow it, my chocolate tang loves the stuff. There's a quick write up here: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-02/hcj/feature/index.php

This is EXACTLY what I have too! :-( ANY words of wisdom folks?I don’t think it’s regular bubble algae. I think it is called red valonia. The spots on it are actually fluorescent orange. It probably wasn’t three weeks ago my wife and I pulled every rock out one by one and pulled all of them off with tweezers doing our best not to pop any of them.

I ended up cleaning all the rocks with tweezers again, then used vibrant. It knocked it out pretty quick.
