So ok kids I need help..... I got an 30g Bio cube by Oceanic and lots of red bubble algie... Botryocladia skottsbergii or Red Valonia as some may call it. So I purchased an emerald crab but he eats everything but thea's little red bubbles that are taking over my tank..... any one got some tips? Thank you

in a 30, it may be hard to controll
my tangs love the stuff

If it's the same stuff I had, it can grow past the bubble stagees
but I'd just syphon it out when you do a water change

don't smush them and then suck
pinch them off so the suction will remove them from the tank

I have used emerald crabs in the past to take care of it, They seem to work

The only thing I can think of is injecting fresh water into the bubbles with a small syringe.... any one think that sounds like a good idea?

No, that isnt a good idea. That would be no different than simply breaking them open in the tank. The spores would simply leave the bubbles as you filled them with water.

I answered your other thread on the subject as well kingleo.
