Does anybody know of anything that eats bubble algae besides emerald crabs?

Thanks

Try getting a foxface, this has always worked for me. Also, look around a bit, there are many threads on this topic.

I just removed mine manually. I grab the base of it gently and just lift up. I did pop a couple but never had it come back once I removed it. I do have many red mithrax crabs in my tank and I had 3 pincushion urchins at one time that really took care of alot of it. I just got sick of looking at it and removed about 30 bubbles or so. Wasn't difficult.
