Red Algae?

[cadbury]

I have a 180 Reef tank thats well established and has been doing great, but the last few days I've noticed that there's been some deep red algae growing on my coraline with a few red bubbles? Any reason for concern?

Sounds like bubble algae...emerald crabs should take care of it.

i just got rid of mine. I suggest you use chemi-clean. It's reef safe and it does wonders on your algea. Make sure you use an air stone or run air through your powerheads when you do it. Also you have to turn off your skimmer and take the carbon out of your filter if you run a canister filter.
