Green Bubble

[bigdads]

Today I noticed 2 green bubbles on my live rock. Does anyone know what this is?

probably bubble algae..I had some in my tank that was spreading pretty quickly. I've heard that it can get pretty out of control. You can try to gently siphon it out, be careful not to burst the bubbles (that is how it spreads). I just took my live rock out to remove the bubbles.

i have a few in my tank too most noticeable is one behind my large colt that is about the size of a golf ball.... i dont have that many of them as of now so i guess ill worry later on

I agree, bubble algae. They can be a nusiance, but I think they are awsome-looking. I have a few of them in my tank that do not spread. I consider them one of my corals hehe.

If you want to get rid of it try getting an emerald crab as they are one of the few things that eat it.GOOD LUCK.
