MY tant has A LOT of green bubble algae. I know that an emerald crab is supposed to do the trick but i tryed that and it killed/ate most of the good things in my tank! What are my other options?
Emerald crabs are great for green bubbly, yet when they finish it off the are quick to crab anything else. I had one in my 65 it pulled off slabs of purple coralline and help my Xenia spread all over by pulling chunks off of it.
Solution: Put the bad boy(s) in your sump/refugium when they run out of algae, put them in the main display when needed. The process works for me.
BTW: If you try to remove the bubbles by hand try not to pop them.
Add other macro algaes (i.e. calupra)....they will out compete bubble alage in not time flat. Just be prepare to harvest the macro algae (this is GOOD for your tank).
