I need an emerald crab I think...

[DebsSisterFlo]

I'm losing the battle with bubble algae, and isn't it the emerald crab that eats it? Does anyone have a proven algae eater that needs a new home? When I clean I remove the smaller rocks and pick the bubbles off, but for every one that bursts... sigh. If not a crab, can you give me any more ideas?

We have always used emerald crabs to keep our bubble algea in check and they do a good job. They eat them when they're small, but if the bubbles get big we still have to hand-pick them, they don't touch those. We've never had a problem with them picking at any of our corals , we have 4 in our 75g.
