Hi
I need to id this thing growing on one rock looks like mushrooms you would find on a tree

It's soft but doesn't break of as easy as a tree mushroom.

How do I get rid rid of this?
Bubble algea isn't that so pose to look like bubbles trapped inside the water?

not really

emerald crabs might eat it, rabbit fish possibly, my friends gem tang ate it but that might be a bit $$ to get one
or take the rock out, carefully remove the algae, then hit the area with some h2o2

Would removing the rock and cleaning It help?

It's only a 14 g tank

PS, doesn't look like bubble algae to me

Could be a sponge, or something else entirely

What's it feel like ?
Is it soft or hard ?

If you read my first post
Its softer but doesn't pop like other bubble algea I had before.
Feels like the mushrooms on a tree

I'm pretty sure it's it's a bubble algea tho.
