Bubble Algae, how to get rid of it

a few days ago i found one on the sand, and tonight when taking some pics of my firefish i noticed that i'm getting an outbrake on my rocks.

What is a good way to get rid of it and what eats it?

Also when looking close at them in the pictures some are tear shaped and some are round

HELP!!

 

heres a pic you'll be able to see what i'm talking about if you zoom in

John Maloney's ultimate nuisance algae thread, has some good suggestions for this algae

but please note comments about not bursting it, as this is how it can spread

ok i'll take a look at it, thanks

 

so looks like i need to get emerald crabs? These things have got to be so small, i didn't even know i had them growing like this until i took the pictures tonight *glad i did*

 

this stuff is starting to spread! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! just found a BIG one on a completly differet rock on the opposite side of the tank i really hope the lfs has an emerald crab instock tomorrow

 

Ack!!! Well You have like ... 30 fish stores within a 30 mile radius of you... Call them all up find some!!

 

lol i have work tomorrow so hopefully i can go there afterwards. I've found a few more on other rocks

 

sad day... Algae likes your aquarium and not mine :'( My poor tangs are sad!

 

lol what's the point of spending money on ro/di water when i'm getting algae anyways. Your tangs should come live with me! wanna switch! imagine all those big tangs in my little tank and all my little fish in your tank lol you wouldn't even be able to find the helfrichi's firefish!
