these little bubble looking things have appeared on this piece of coral, has anybody seen this before and if so what should I do about them?

hard to tell from the pic but almost looks like bubble algae hanging out in there... emerald crabs eat it or you can try to get it with tweezers just be careful not to pop it..

Bubble algae, try and get it under control quickly or it will take over the whole darn tank.

I have been fighting with it for a while. Debating on just getting rid of the rock, but its a nice piece lol. tweezers and pluck it from its base, Do not pop them or spores spread.

Small Emerald Crabs will eat it.

It is bubble algae. You can also pluck it off with your fingers. You can carefully grab it from its base and rock it back and forth gently to get it off without popping it.

I have seen people say that they used a turkey baster to remove them. Have not needed to do it, but maybe try it.

Good Luck

I had bubble algae. I picked a lot out (carefully) and put 3 emeralds in my 29 and it went away.

Thanks for all the info. I guess I'll get a couple emerald crabs and start picking it off
