I have a 15G nano with corals only. I have hydroids and bubble algae showing up, anyone know how to control these in a coral only tank?

If its just a 15gal replace the live rock with clean pieces then torch the hydroids and cook the old rock.

On the actual coral or just on its mount/disk? Hydroids scare the crap out of me. I once watched a friend have to pull apart a fully stocked 225gal tank and blow torch all of his rock because they were killing everything. I'd try to cut around them and discard what they're attached to.

They are growing on the mounting disc. I will cut the disc apart it's worth trying.
