So I purchased a 6 year old tank in August had soft corals and 6 fish got it moved and up in one day with at least 40% of the water all is doing well put in a CUC and Watchman Goby . Last week notice some bubble algae appearing what can I put in to eat this and they are on rocks that I can't remove . coraline is growing and I also have pineapple and chicken liver sponges.

Temp 78.4 1 Watchman Goby
 
Bubble is a transient pest, meaning it comes and it goes now and again. No big deal. Just the tank spending some nutrient; it'll die back again.
 
Best thing to do with the bubble algae is let them be. From what I've been told here, popping them releases their spores into the water which makes more bubble algae.
 
Just remove as many as you can before each water change. Don't worry about popping them. GL.
