Bubble Algae?

[droth]

I seem to have got control of the green hair algae but the bubble algae is still there and growing. I tried to pull them off the rocks but for every 3 bubbles I get one bursts. The main group of these bubbles seem to be on one rock. Can I take this rock out, scrub them off the rock and then return the rock to the tank?

Yes but after cleaning the rock in old WC water, just give it a few dips in fresh SW to help get rid of any spores that might be on the rock.

Yes it does work. I have done this before with some of my rock. Like redsea reefer said rinse it off with fresh salt water.

Thanks guys I'll try it tonight when I give the tank a 25% water change.
