sNEIRBO Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 You should have bought an Emerald Crab to take care of the Bubble Algae - it was really amazing to watch my devour the one bubble I had in my Cube. You risk busting the bubbles when you try to remove it. If you do bust one, you spread spores all over your tank and it goes wild! Link to comment

sNEIRBO Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 It took my Emerald Crab about 2 weeks to find the single bubble I had. When he did, he hovered over it for about 5 minutes - looked like he was feeling the currents in the tank - then he attacked it. Within 10 minutes he'd devoured the entire bubble and cleaned the LR completely. No trace of it anywhere when he was done. Link to comment
