Don't quote me on this but I read somewhere (WWM perhaps) that whether the bubbles contain spores depends on the life phase of the algae. |
I have read similiar statements about releaseing spores by breaking the bubble. It's reasonable that the life phase would be a determining factor, but at what stage it comes into play I have no idea. I just go by "better safe than sorry" If they can be picked off without breaking, great, if not I just leave them. So far, so good (knock on wood). Cheers.
