About Red Bubble Algae

Red bubble algae looks like a bunch of small red bubbles, often found in bunches. Red bubble algae is often firm and can spread quickly if popped.

What Causes Red Bubble Algae

Red 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 Red Bubble Algae

Red 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 red bubble algae is removed and donesn't spread.

What Eats Red Bubble Algea

Emerald crabs and Ruby crabs are famous for their ability to eat bubble algae! Nothing more to say about that!
