How do you get rid of green bubble alge ? I have 4 emerald crabs in the tank now for 1 month and no change . I think its getting worse. its covering eveything.

Any help would be appreciated !

I have a friend who has been battling that for more than a year. After studying all available info and using every known method the algea persists. He is currently working on obtaining a small dose of Agent Orange because that's the only thing left that he hasn't tried

I had some on a few rocks. Emerald crabs did nothing to it. They avoided it at all costs. I finally got fed up and scrubed every rock in bucket of fresh salt water. I rinsed each rock off in 3 buckets of clean salt water and put back into display. It is extreme but it worked.

Manual removal works best. Chemicals don't work on bubble algea. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the responces. I dont want to remove all of my rock since most of it has coral growing on it . wow what a pain

Whatever you do, do not pop the bubble in the tank because it will spread everywhere. Try and take the pieces out and roll it off with your fingers.

I unseat it and remove it with a turkey baster.

I have also took big peices out with a syphon. The algea was so big the tube got clogged.

There is so much of it i guess manual removal looks like the only way.
Thanks for all the options everyone!
I will see if i can get a pic up to look at
