Is the bubble, round(Valonia) or tear drop(Ventricaria Ventricosa)? these are two of the more common types, how bad is the outbreak? The valonia tends to grow slowly and usually not a problem. The ventricaria can grow very quickly, but not necessarily going to be a problem unless it starts to overtake an area (ie. coral). Some people have luck with emerald crabs but this totally hit or miss. If you think it's starting to become a problem, manual removal is going to be your best bet. Try to do this without popping the bubble and releasing spores (some say this is a myth but it makes sense to me) by gently rocking, twisting lifting etc.There will be some that will not be accessable and some that will not be coaxed off I would leave these for another day. Good luck
