    Sorry for the poor quality, but I found this on the back of my rock, it looks like a green eyeball. You can gauge it's size by the turbo's around it, but I have no idea what it is?

    That's bubble algea. Be sure to remove all of it. The tiniest little piece will grow back.

    unless he burst the bubbles while eating them. then your in a real mess. I would pick off what I can manually for now, but once you get the big ones yes a crab can help.
