Bubble algea, and its invasion of frag tiles....

[Sir Patrick]

Anyone else notice this happening? I got a bunch of frags, on Aragacrete Coral frag tiles, made by oceans wonders. They have almost all been bombarded with bubble algea. No where else in the tank- just on the tiles. Not a hint of the stuff anywhere else in the tank.

Anyone have similar experiances?

I never had a real problem with bubble algae but when ever I do notice it I pluck it out right away . I have seen tanks with that stuff infested and it does not look pretty.

+1 To Bella, I also while plucking the bubble algae syphon to make sure the liquid in them doesn't float off.

^ great advice bella and rob. I am so not wanting to mess with it, in fear of busting it in my tank, I prolong the maintanance till its gotten way outa hand, or lookin like its threatening a coral.

Putting frag tiles or plugs in your tank is like introducing new live rock or any new surface . not sure on the scientific-es but it usually ends up in a algea out break.. this also goes for frag racks.
