I blow off my rocks at least once a week. Also stir my sand monthly to minimize detritus buildup.

Recently acquired a Red Sea Sailfin who went nuts for the stuff. Also a great gardner, eats red filamentous and macro algaes. The books say they could eat bubble algae, I guess I got lucky.

Get rid of him, they get extremley large. You probably have more of these in your tank. As you said they come in with live rock or frags. Neon dottybacks and spider crabs are known to eat these.
