			 My live rock is covered in tiny bubbles.  It's definitely not bubble algae however.  Any reason why it might be doing this?

			 How's your water flow over this rock?  Is there red or green filmy or fuzzy stuff between the bubbles and the rock?

			 No red or green film and most of the bubbles have vanished.  I have a lot of flow in the tank but nothing that is creating bubbles.  The bubbles did appear after feeding however.  Could this have caused it by any chance?

			 Your bubbles are a mystery to me.  I can't see why feeding the tank would cause bubbles.  That's never happened to me.  Maybe someone else can shine a light on your bubble problem.  How long has the tank been set up?  What else is in it?  Could microbubbles from your skimmer, if you have on, be causing this?

			 I get some bubbles on a rock just under my sump return. I am sure mine is caused by air from my skimmer getting sucked into my return pump and thus shot into the tank. The rock in question also has a light dusting of hair algae that likes to trap it. Every once in a while my Sea Hare will cruise by and trim it back, releasing the bubbles..
