Green/Red Bubble algae...

[KhensuRa]

Got a frag awhile back that had some on it and I thought I got rid of it. But after a while I saw new buble algae growth on the frag, so i again cleaned it. Today I noticed it was covered yet a again all the around the rim of the chalice. And upon closer inspection it has now started to spread. i have pluck out the ones that where easy to get to but a ton is still attached to parts of the tank I can't safely remove.

Any ideas on what to do?

hmmmm I have both emeralds and rubys in there and they havent ... maybe i should take the rock out and put it in my stock tanks with all the emeralds and rubys LOL

Yea that would be a good experiment to see how they react and determine if some will eat it or if all of them like it......hehehe

I just might have too... hmmmmm

The only issue is I'm sure the mini maxi's on the rock wouldnt enjoy that much lol
