leave it or nuke it?

two little blooms of this stuff in the 29g cube.

cuc is cleaner shrimp, turbo snails, blue leg hermits, there's a green emerald crab that looks grey in the tank... he doesn't do much. Used to climb all over everywhere, now he stays low.

...also have a dozen or so red bubble algae bubbles here and there in the tank. they even have orangeish and purple accents in them. Tried to take a pic, but doesn't come through very well....

thoughts?

cheers.

Emerald crab but get a small one.Large ones have been known to munch on coral.

The first pic looks like bryopsis (sp?) get a magnesium test kit and buy tech m magnesium and raise your magnesium, I hear that's the best way to get rid of it. The bubble algae, I would get some emerald crabs.

Emerald crabs from reefcleaners are guaranteed to eat the bubble algae or your money back. At least I believe I read that

red bubble algae, don't burst them they will spread, superglue, siphon, they gots to go! now for the bad news lol, red bubble does not like light and likes to hide under and between rockwork, might want to have a peek, when its small it can be hard to spot
