Bubble algae question.

I notice a small bubble on one of my rocks should i take charge or let it be... If so what are some good ways to remove bubble algae? Thanks!

take charge before it does.

What are the best ways to get rid of it?

knock it loose and remove it, or if it is small, spear it with a pin etc to kill it before it gets big enough to release spores.

how ever you do it, get rid of it..........

I have a Red Sea Sailfin that loves it. If you have room for one I would try it. Great fish!

anyone else? I though it i spear it it would release more?

to remove the bubble algae that my emerald crab ignores, I use a needle and syringe from an ER, or hobby store (often these are used for precise glue applications). I puncture the bubble with the needle and draw up the spores into the syringe. When an emty shell is all thats left I pull it out with my fingers or tweezers. Every 4 or 5 months I notice a bubble big enough to deflate in this manner.

I use a piece of thickwall 1/2" tubing. When I do a water change, I use the tubing to scrape it off. If it breaks, the hose suctions up the spores.
