What's the best way to get rid of red bubble algie

[eli@fijireefrock.com]

Actually one of my favorite is the Hawaiian blue tang i had one years ago and honestly that was the top of them all in grasing all day anything green. Only my experience.

I had a red bubble algae outbreak. For me, I put a lemonpeel angel in my tank and watched him pick apart bubble algae over the next 2 weeks. It was unexpected. But of course, they aren't 100% reefsafe. I'm not going to suggest getting one for eating the algae though. I'm just documenting the behavior.

Makes sense I just use treated tap water I've been doing small water changes every two days to rid nutrients I'm barley feeding my chromis but I'm going to try the turkey Baster idea

What's your definition of treated tap water? Using prime r some other conditioner? If so then that's most likey the problem there. Should look into RO filter.

my emerald won't touch the stuff. My bariene tang is loving it though, eats my hair algee, bubble algee... everything.

My experience with it is that if you don't remove the base it simply grows back. It seems to have a base structure that looks like a piece of red corraline and the bubble grows from this by way of a little thread structure. Unless you totally remove the base it seems to regrow in no time at all.
