Bubble Algae, good or bad?

[trainfever]

I just found some bubble algae in my tank. There is only one bubble so far. I was wondering if this was good or bad? I was alos wondering if I should put it in my refugium to help control nitrates? What do you experts think, put it in my refugium or get rid of it altogether?

I have heard to get rid of and dont pop the bubble for they will spread like crazy.

They can become invasive rather quickly. I would remove it. If you put it anywhere in your system they will start to pop up all over.

Best way to remove it is with tweezers. But dont sqeeze to hard so it pops.

It's gone now. I started a syphon and knocked the bubble loose with the hose. It got sucked out right away with the syphon. This way, I didn't take any chances with it spreading.
