yagerboy May 5, 2021 Share May 5, 2021 Bubble Algae. Very obtrusive if you don't get ahead of it. Take the roach out and manually remove with frag tool or tweezers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therootcause May 5, 2021 Share May 5, 2021 Yes it’s bubble algae, more concerning though are the zoas / palys that appear to be on the rock.If you poke/cut this rock to remove the algae wear appropriate ppe to avoid palytoxin exposure.Do not cook the rock.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaJMasta May 5, 2021 Share May 5, 2021 Haven't actually tried it, but would hydrogen peroxide spot treating help with this? It's a large area for it, but zoas are pretty tolerant of it as a dip, so you may be able to get a fair bit of area covered with just squirting some on the algae covered portions. Probably not good to dip the whole rock because of the other potential stuff on/in it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefAddict May 7, 2021 Share May 7, 2021 (edited) Vibrant also works pretty well at helping reduce and eliminate Bubble algae. If your lucky emerald crabs will also eat it. Edited May 7, 2021 by ReefAddict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM May 8, 2021 Share May 8, 2021 That's kind of a lot of bubble algae to try to pick off. I've always thought it looks kind of cool, but it can quickly take over a lot of real estate. For a while in a previous tank I had red bubble algae that tends to be bigger bubbles that I liked a lot. As others have said, be careful around the zoas. Wash your hands well after handling.
