Red Bubble Algae

[mike owen]

Trying to get my tank back ticking. Does anyone know how to battle red bubble algae?

Gross, isn't it? Yet it's not closely related to valonia and I think it's not as bad. Can you get a tang to eat it? My powder blue tears the bubbles up sometimes.

i haven't seen to much that eats it. but i just got a yellow tang that ate some small patches of it in my tank

Pull the rock, Srub it all off then rinse it in clean RO or NSW and put it back. Its the only "sure" way to get rid of it.

Please identify red bubble algae, preferably with a pic or link. Without an ID anything else is just a guess.
