Hi,

I had a huge bubble algae problem that just 'bubbled' up about 4 months after I started my tank. Temp stayed the same the whole time. My tank usually stays pretty constant at 77.9... but varries a little to 77.6 and 78.4. An emerald crab is finally what saved me. I got one emerald (named 'Bubbles') and he started eating away at it, but then just stopped eating one day and died in about 2 weeks. I got a new one (named 'Peti') because in the process of the last crab eating much of the bubble algae, many 'spors' (I guess) were released, and my problem was worse than ever! The new one took care of that and did start eating away at my coraline. He has since been living on and off in my sump. I take him out because he a blast to watch... Anyhoo, enough rambling...
