+1. If you can take out the LR to remove is best. If not, try to remove with a turkey baster. Don't pop them, it will cause is to release thousands of spores that will spread it all over your tank. Emerald crabs are suppose to help but I've never had luck with them.

It's not like a bubble it's more like hair like

If im correct it stays of life a green mat of algae that over time produces bubbles

 

[domination2580]

In those bubbles it produces spores

Doubtful. Tangs eat algae but not bubble. If you do get one that does take it as an amazing opportunity lol

True. I've seen a yellow and I think it was a kole that ate bubble algae. Not common though you're right
