Is this a type of Bubble Algae? Valonia? Boergesenia forbesii?

Need to know how aggressively to attack it... Will probably pull the rock and treat with h2o2, but I wanted to get an idea what I'm dealing with.

 

Thanks.

Don't know the species, but pulling the rock and gentle manual removal followed by H202 should do the trick. And keep an eye out for more.

Thanks. I had a little bit on another rock, too. I gently pulled it off with tweezers and it flattened, so I panicked...

 

I've got some work to do this weekend.

valonia disallowed. Some hitchhiked new brain frag.

Brandon - you're hitting with 3% h2o2 first and then removing the bubbles? I've been doing the opposite - carefully removing the bubble algae with tweezers trying not to pop them and then squirting h2o2 on the affected area and letting it sit for 3 minutes.

 

Rationale for leaving the bubbles while treating?
