Green Bubble Algae

that would be best since all the pores can get washed out. For me it would require pulling a bunch of corals off. Then I'd probably re-rockscape.. lot of work haha

Yeah, I don't want to devastate my eco system that much. I know if I pull up my rocks I'll **** off one rbta, a plethora of bristle worms and other organisms that have taken up residence in there and who knows what else. I'll just do it one bubble at a time.

I've heard gfo or ATS. GFO seems to be helping a ton with my tank. I have an emerald. It just ignored the bubble algae. I also have a one spot foxface. It will eat anything. It like chaeto to snack on during the day, any free swimming amphipods, and just about any larger frozen food.

so here's a little update. I received 6 emerald crabs from reefcleaners. Got them last night and they immediately start eating... I couldn't see what they were eating, not bubble algae it seemed..

this morning, I stared at the same rock where all the crabs were on last night, no more BA!!! looks like they are working hard at night. most of the tank is still covered with them, but at least 1 side is getting better.

I'm also reducing feeding slowly.. hopefully the hunger will drive them to eat more BA than meaty food

so if you want to try Reefcleaner's crabs, it's guaranteed or money back

Yeah, reef cleaners emeralds have a money back guarantee for eating gba. Mine eat it but just not fast enough to really put a dent in it. I actually took a brush to all my rocks today, siphoned the sand and overhauled my rock. Looks great now, let's see how it works lol
