Help on bubble algae!

[eelfreakrobi]

Need help over here, so a week ago I brought my first mushroom coral that had brought some cool stuff, but I also saw a small spot of bubble algae, and the past 3 days I have noticed a whole bunch just crawling over the piece of live rock, so my questions are, will it affect any of the mushrooms, or anything? Is their any critter that can take care of the job. I dont want to use a toothbrush because the bubble algae is extremely close to mushrooms and I really dont want to hurt the shrooms. I also heard that if I srcub it off I can just spread the algae more, so is their anything I can do? I dont like bubble algae!

Pick up a couple of emerald crabs.

take a tooth pic and pop it off- my qustion is- how exactly does an emerald crab fit one of those through its tiny mouts without popping it?? just something to think about

They will not hurt your mushrooms. They are just unsightly. Just pulling them out is very effective. Only be concerned with popping the big ones.
