It may be bubble algae and it has been reported that emerald crabs will do a number on the stuff.

I dont really think the hammer will care what is around it. When those sweepers come out it's going to try to sting anything it can.

Many people have used the methods mentioned above and I have heard claims of people keeping a nuisance algae free tank for years with a proper setup.

Rock on striker !!!! Thats one of the nicer 29 setups I've seen. If you got urchins in there I would place my money on them as the ones knocking the coral over.
