Mine did nothing at all unfortunately. It seems like getting an Emerald that eats valonia is hit and miss. I hear some stories where one Emerlad plows through it, and the other doesn't go near it.

Then again, there are many similar instances in the hobby!

I found manual removal (depending how badly infested you are) is the quickest, and easiest. Mine always seemed to pull off the rock nice and easy without bursting the bubble though. Spend 10 minutes a day and it does make a significant difference.

Cheers
