SAVE IT!!!

thats the good kind of marco algae

just trim it back to keep it in check

that kind of algae will keep your nitrates and other organics in check

and by cutting it bakc you reduce the risk of a crash

or one more thing

PUT THIS IN ITS RIGHT FORUM!! :thumbsup:

dude bubble algae isnt something that you want to keep. ive never had it on a coral but i had it on a rock so i scraped it off under running water making sure to get all of it off. this isnt recommended for corals tho sorry man
