About Green Bubble Algae
Green bubble algae looks like a bunch of small green bubbles, often found in bunches. Green bubble algae is often firm and can spread quickly if popped.

Green bubble algae can spread from fragments or spores from within the bubble. Nitrates and phosphates allow this algae to grow and spread even more quickly. If the bubbles were to pop or deflate, this indicates the release of many spores in to the aquarium, allowing it to multiply rapidly.
How to Get Rid of Green Bubble Algae
Green bubble algae can be scraped off the rock with a razor or X-Acto Blade, however you should also use an aquarium siphon to suck up the algae and any spores. This will help ensure all of the green bubble algae is removed and donesn't spread.
