Cassette87 · 07-26-2007, 05:30 PM

Well I was poking around my tank just now, and found two huge bubble algae growing. one i was able to remove (first pic) and the other is semi encrusted with zoas... and i cant get it off... it's not as large as the first but it is large!! should i be worried ? should i leave it or remove it? I'm not sure what to do!

Thanks Everyone!

Well while having it out of the tank and trying to cut around it with a razor, I accidentally popped it... so i drained it out, cut it out, and dumped some tank water over the area to rinse, and put it back in... i hope all is well.. and i was able to make a ring of fire frag in the process... so all is well i suppose!

The zoa's appear to be doing well! Glad to see, since they were out of the water for a couple minutes.
