Default Cyno

No its not cyno. It is bubble algae. Kinda cool stuff mind you, it glows under the moonlights like it has some phosphoressence (sp?) Reds and orange mostly. It varies in size from a couple of mm to 2 cm accross.

Sailfin tangs are reported to eat bubble algae. I've never heard of brown bubble though. With 4 emerald crabs, I assume you have a larger tank?

I have a lot of red bubble algae and some brown i think its the same thing. I have a little emerald crab that i bought to eat it but i havent seen him since i put him in the tank... I found if you scrub off all your rocks it takes a long time for it to come back.

Default Bubble

I have 3 reef tanks, a 55, 75 and a 90. The problem is in the 55. I bought 4 emerald crabs because of the amount of bubbles, with the intention to distribute to the other tanks once the problem was cleared up. Hmmmm sailfin tang eh, I may try that, thanks for the advice!
