Bubble algae

How do you deal with green bubble algae?

Emerald crab

Had a couple but they didn't seem to eat it, I'm gonna try another but was wondering if there was anything else I could do.

manual removal - rigid piece to tubing attached to the end of flexible siphon hose is what I've found to work best.

Not sure how big your tank is but you could try a Rabbitfish, Emeralds didn't work for me either, since i added a rabbitfish, there is a definate decline in the bubble algae, I no longer have to harvest it every 2 weeks.

I don't think it matters what rabbitfish, they all eat algae, small foxface might work., I went with the 2 barred rabbitfish, I've seen him eating it, if you go this route, remove as much as you can manually before you add the fish.

Good Luck!

My yellow tang demolished it along with red bubbles and other nuisance algae.
