not really

emerald crabs might eat it, rabbit fish possibly, my friends gem tang ate it but that might be a bit $$ to get one
or take the rock out, carefully remove the algae, then hit the area with some h2o2

PS, doesn't look like bubble algae to me

Could be a sponge, or something else entirely

What's it feel like ?
Is it soft or hard ?

If you read my first post
Its softer but doesn't pop like other bubble algea I had before.
Feels like the mushrooms on a tree

I'm pretty sure it's it's a bubble algea tho.
