Red Grape algia

[gasman]

I have a new out break of algia. I think it is red grape algia. I have it on some new rocks that I recived from a tank that a person was breaking down. I wanted to know If to keep or get rid of.

Thanks for your input!!

I dont know that I'd keep it,unless I could be positive to what it was.
Any way you can get a pic of it?

I say its bubble algae. Ditch it IMO

Boy do you have it bad. I would get rid of it.

Yeah, looks like bubble algae.

I found three pieces of bubble algae in my tank last night :( I'll have to head over to the LFS for some emerald crabs this week too.

I have some too, but my emerald hasn't touched it yet

I have a emerald crab. I have not seen him eating it yet. I can remove it it is only on three small rocks.

Thanks for all info.

Don't pop them in the tank. Remove them from the base. If you pop them, they'll spread spores throughout the tank. If you can take the rock out, and remove the bubbles outside of the tank, even better.

I was thinking of removing the rock from the tank
