Bubble algae 🤦‍♂️

Ok so ignoring it is not working. Emerald Crabs are doing good work on the rock work. But wall of zoas and wave makers are hurting.

What’s the deal… I am scared of vibrant because I have SPS in the tank….

What would you do?

Manual removal, and something like rabbit fish that will eat it.

Forgot to add 32g Biocube. Only 1 clown, tank is more about the coral. Issue is I don’t know any fish that will fit that will eat that stuff that will fit in such a small tank.

Manual removal. Pretty easy to pretty much to take the whole thing apart and put it back together. Or use a 1/2 tube to drain into a sock and keep filing a bucket and pouring it back in. You will have to work on your nutrients. Only reason bubble algae can take over is because of excess nutrients

It hasn’t took over, but now it’s on the zoas. And that’s enough for me to start doing something about it.

Thanks for the info.

Manually remove most of the bubble algae wash your power heads in vinegar and tooth brush and let the emeralds do their thing

I had good luck with a clean up crew from reef cleaners I thought I was never gonna get rid of the bubble algae
Or at least control it good luck buddy!

I went through two fox face lol and a bristletooth tooth tomini to be exact…all failed which on the bright side now I have a pair of fox face that literally are glued at the hips kinda cool. Anyways just ordered brightwell razor it’s supposed to be promising with bubble algae and safe on corals. Will let u knwk how it goes
