    Bubble algae. Can become a nuisance and unsightly. The algal spores are contained in the bubbles.

    Remove the rock from the water and then carefully remove the shperes from the rock. Rinse well in tank water before putting them back into your display.

    Emerald crabs will dine on it if you want to try a natural remedy.

    +1 to removing the rock and rinsing. Try not to bust the bubbles no matter what! They will tend to pull off in clumps if you take a needle or toothpick and slowly scrape at the base. Also if you go with emerald crabs ask for females. Females are less aggressive and are much less likely to eat any soft corals. They aren't know to eat softies very often but mine went to town on one of my shrooms.
