Algae on live rock

[benningtondt]

Im moving some of my live rock from my 29g to my 75, only problem is that some of the live rock has some bubble algae on it and I don't want bubble algae in my new tank. What would be the best way to make sure no bubble will be able to hitch a ride to the new tank?

Inspect each rock while moving it. Remove any bubble algea in a bucket of tank water then rinse it off really well in a seperate bucket of tank water. That is what I would try to do. It is possible to remove them without breaking them. Try very hard not to break the bubbles. Inside they have spores that will cause them to spread. That is why I suggest rinsing the rock off after you remove the bubbles. To make sure you get as many of the spores off as possible.

That would be a good method.
