Default Bubble algae

Hey,

Red Sea sailfin Tangs are reported to eat it as well, however, I have not had first hand experience with trying them for bubble algae in particular...

start yanking it by hand.

I did that to get rid of it all, then I put in to emerald crabs and have not seen a trace sence.
