Agreed, emerald crabs (I've heard) will help get rid of bubble algae.

Mithrax or Emerald (the same ) crabs will do the trick. DO NOT POP IT. It will cause them to spread crazy fast. Sometimes they can be dislodged because they are sort of hard, just be carefull.

If u dont want to get an emerald, id steralize some needle nose and try to twist it off, or if u can just take that piece of rock right out n do it. that would be better.

just take the rock out the tank and scrape it off. use a screwdriver or file and scape some rock off too so you dont have residue. they use a spray bottle to spray off the rock with saltwater to wash any left off. No matter once you see one they will keep coming back. If your water quality is good thats all you'll get a bubble here and there really not requiring any action. if your water quality is poor (high nutrients) then they will pop up all over the damn place quickly.
