How to get rid of Valonea algae?

[justinl]

I found manual removal worked best for me. You just have to careful not to allow spore dispersal when you do it. My method was to turn the pumps off, have a siphon going and use the siphon to physically pop the bubbles and dislodge it if possible. That way any debris or spores from the algae would be sucked up immediately.

Ive also heard that only female emerald crabs have a good chance of feasting on valonia (given that other food sources aren't as readily available). the males are more lazy apparently.
