Just pull it off with your fingers. What ever you due do not pop it. I do not know what caused them.

you can get an emerald crab because they eat bubble algea.

just take the rock out and knock them off....they are very hard and you probably will not pop them....
for the glass just scrape it off but have a net near and catch them....helps if you shut off pumps....
