pennylesst Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I have a serious case of bubble algae going on in my 12g nano cube and have read on here that emerald crabs may help get rid of it. I have at least 2 small brittle stars that I have recently discovered and would like to keep them, but would they be safe with emerald crabs? Thanks! Link to comment
c est ma Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 My brittles get along just fine with my emerald. So does my bubble algae. --Diane Link to comment
stingythingy45 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Three cheers for the Mithrax (Emerald) crabs. I just put one in my tank Friday and it's really going to town on the algae. Only problem is it's the algae on the bottom of the live rock. I'm hoping that once that supply runs out it will move on to greener pasture. Link to comment
s0nginmyheart Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Is there anything else that will get rid of the bubble algae? The local store said that emeralds will do the job, but I wasn't too pleased with their selection. Link to comment
joesmoe517 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 dont think so... just get one, slowly but surely he'll eat the bubble algae. mine took like 3 months to eat all of mine, now he's moved onto my nuisance red macro algae (i call it christmas tree algae but i dont know what it is).
