Kills pretty much every algae. Don't add it to your tank.

1 part 3% hydrogen peroxide to 20 parts salt water.

Turkey baste corals and scrub frag plugs and snail shells with a toothbrush. Dip no longer than a couple mins. Then rinse well with new salt water. Bingo bango.

I second Hunggy74, DinoX and an UV sterilizer should do the job.

Vibrant destroyed my bubble algae that the emerald crab couldn't keep in check. I haven't seen a single trace of it in almost 6 months, and I stopped using Vibrant probably 5 months ago. The emerald crab was also removed as it started to pick at other things with no bubble algae left to eat.

Might be worth a try, I found it turned the bubble algae really mushy then it just started to turn white and waste away.
