Attack of the emerald easter eggs

Can anyone help with how I can treat this outbreak in my tank? The resemble clusters of small green eggs and are spreading rapidly!

 

bubble algae , they can be removed by hand ,but take care to not pop the bubles as this will release spores into the tank

 

I have also heard of people sucking them up with turkey baster

 

An emerald crab will most likely eat them. If you have a lot, get 2 or 3 emerald crabs. They are only about $5 each. It worked for me!

 

Thanks for the video waste management.

I had a bunch on a piece of branched LR that kept spreading between the branches. Bought an emerald crab to go after it but wouldn't touch it. I couldn't remove it so I had eventually bleach the rock.

You need to get this under control ASAP. Your's looks pretty easy to remove using waste management's approach.

 

I had some of these in my tank, on one rock. I tried sucking them out and it wouldn't work, they just came back. I finally took out the rock and scrubbed it thoroughly in my water-change water with a toothbrush. Took care of the problem.

 

I've always thought this was a cool looking algae - it can be quite aggressive in terms of spreading. Good to see you're getting on it early.

 

All great advise, I try a little of everything, Thanks

 

Some Tangs will eat it too.

 

If only tangs would fit in a nano... Emerald crabs for emerald easter eggs... how ironic. Try a few emeral crabs. I had one bubble of algae a few months ago.. I used tongs, careful not to pop it. I had another last week.. took out the rock.. darn thing popped in my face.. glad I was wearin glasses... I always do when I pull anything out of the tank. Found another one in a total different place.. gonna get a few emeral crabs. That rock is at the base of my foundation.
