bubble algae--help

[n2deep]

I have a problem with bubble algae. I previously had a emerald crap that kept it under control but he ate my Xenia. Haven't seen him in a while now the bubble algae is on a rampage. The only good thing is that the Xenia is growing back. How can I control the bubble algae w/o getting another emerald? Thanks in advance.

The only other way is manually remove them yourself. But I also heard the Salifin Tang eats them too but not sure if they do a good of a job.

I read a long time ago that if you look for an emerald with orange joints that they are more reef safe. Not sure if that is true or not, but it was said from a trusted member. If you have larger bubbles you will have to manually remove them, do a search on how--there are a few different methods and many threads on it. HTH
