    An emerald crab will eat that bubble algae for you. I have never heard of using super glue to control it.

    You can use alum instead (Tighten Up is the commercial name). It restricts the blood vessels and stops blood flow for twelve hours, and it pulls the tissue in for 12 hours. My kid stepped on a piece of ceramic tile and really needed a stitch, Tighten Up did the trick!

    I have never seen an emerald eat valonia:confused:. I don't think it's as good of a solution as it's thought to be.
    BTW, Awesome post Clthomps.

    I have heard that they can be hit or miss, but I have always seen it to be more hit than miss. I do know that bubble algae in my own tank was gone in a week and all I did was add a couple emerald crabs.

    How is the Clown? He should have passed it by now (hopefully)
