could be bubble alage. dont pop them they will spread. Emerald crab will get rid of them or you could carefully pick them off with tweezers.

Yes get 2 if your tank is mature and the crabs are compatible, but they may not eat the B.A.

all bubble algae, all bad. You won't think it looks cool when it takes over everywhere

another way to get rid of it and it worked for me is during water changes. Take your siphon hose while is siphoning, and rub the algae off the rock, but then try to suck up the algae and hopefully anything else if it popped.

I dont think that little steam of green is algea but if im wrong someone will correct me.
