    guess keep an eye on it , so it doesnt get out of control. emerald crabs will eat it.

    I agree with the above - it looks like bubble algae. Check out the algae forum - I think's there's a pretty recent bubble algae forum on how to remove it (you don't want to pop the bubbles, if you can help it). I have two emerald crabs - one who eats bubble algae and one who doesn't!

    that is Definitely bubble algae. dont pop any of those suckers under the water. not good.

    +1 one on the emrald crabs.. the "natural" way is kind of hit and miss.
