    Another great idea, thanks!

    Honestly mission, I pretty much left it alone for a while after this thread. It wasn't spreading like fire or anything, just annoying. I picked a couple peices off but not all of it. The stuff I picked off hasn't came back yet, and all of the rest dissapeared but one little cluster! Maybe the emeralds got bored or something:p! The little cluster I have is smaller than a quarter and in a cave, so I am going to let it ride and see what happens. Once again thanks for the great advice everyone!!

    Update... I hadn't seen the emeralds for a couple months so I thought they were gonners... well the other day I saw one and went looking around and all my bubble algae is gone!! WOO FREAKIN HOO!! It took them forever but they must have done the trick. There was a lot of rock there for 2 little crabs to pick over so I guess it just took time. My new recommendation is emeralds all the way!!

    It's nice to keep the emeralds in mind cause I do not like bubble algae.

    Are emeralds ok with little fan worms? I have lots of little fan worms that I like. Would the emeralds eat them?
