dling Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I have a couple of small beads of bubble algae. If have tried to remove them by hand once before and ended up popping one. I read a review about this stuff API Marine Algaefix. Have any of you used it ? Would it work on bubble algae? The article I read said yes. Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I just remove them by hand. Twist and pop off. I've never used any products for bubble algae 1 Quote Link to comment

Pjanssen Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 emerald crab from @johnmaloney at http://reefcleaners.org Quote Link to comment
chevegan Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 It's one of the largest single celled organisms in the world. I love them and so do my guests. Especially when you get one to get really big LOL. Either way you can just pop them and call it a day. 1 Quote Link to comment
dling Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 Every thing Ive read say not to pop them. That by popping them they will release spores and that will create a lot more. Some of them are in places the I would have to do some serious moving of stuff to get to. I dont know about the emerald crab . Its hit or miss and you risk having a bad tank mate that will pick on other things in the tank. Was looking for something that would work W/O having to disturb the tank. I still may look into the crab. Hoping for the best. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment

Pjanssen Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Just FYI Reefcleaners.org guarantees that their emeralds will eat bubble algae. Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I use a long surgical tweezer to pop mine off in hard to reach spots. 1 Quote Link to comment
dling Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Thanks . That was good. Looks like popping is the way to go.
