My emerald crab cleaned up all the bubble algae in my tank except for the 3 small bubbles that are attached to one of my turbo snails. Turbo, he is not. I haven't caught him eating anything else, just algae.

Well thanks a bunch guys. I am still not sure what to do. I'll start off by doing more frequent water changes for a while.. cut my lighting back an hour or so.. and feed less mysis for the time being. If I don't see ANY improvement , then I will possibly search out for an emerald. I just don't want him eating anything other than BA, and there is no guarantee , so I may not take the risk. I'll try and do it the old fashioned way first haha.

Bev and Rich... although your suggestions are sure fire ways to remove the BA. I will have to use it as a *last* resort, I just don't want to have anything gto do with removing everything from the tank... haha been there , done that.. too many times. Things just finally started to settle in and mature / grow, etc... so that's why I am so against removing the rock. I will definately keep it in mind though.

Thanks again.
