I have little green bubbles growing on my LR ... I know this is a "form" of algae, but what will eat the bubbles and get rid of it ?

My Emeralds haven't touched the stuff in my tank.

Emerald's are supposed to do the job. We had a break out at my old LFS job, it took me a while but I just siphoned them out. Whatever you do don't pop/break them.

You know that urge you get when you see a zit or bubble wrap, I get the same thing when I look at valonia.

Took my emerald crab back to LFS after a week as it never touched bubble algae but was munching on Corraline.
Sometimes they are easier to pick off when they get a bit bigger. Try gently twisting them .
If they are stuck in crevices then you have no choice. Just hope that the spores land somewhere easy to pick them off later.

Why? They are still cool even if they don't eat the valonia, plus I heard that their munching on coralline actually helps it spread.

Because it was eating the corraline far quicker than it could spread. It was stripping patches of rock overnight - that would take weeks or even months to grow back.
