Anyone have any easy tricks for removing bubble algae without popping them? The last thing I want to do is release spores in the tank. I've taken a few pieces out but there are a few places hard to get to and removing the rock isn't an option.

I've tried everything...
When they get big enough its easier to just pull em out. But if you beak it...
I've even got a rock out, cleaned it with freshwater&brush, came back!
I think emerald eats them.

I know what caused mine... i tried to remove one in the tank and popped it. I've been removing it from the pieces I can remove from the tank and dipping them in saltwater before putting them back in the tank to make sure i didn't leave any spores. I don't trust crabs and even then its a 50/50 shot if they will eat it. Nutrients isn't a real problem in my tank. I'm not sure which kind it is, but I'll definitely look it up.

I did read a nice tip on one of the reef forums about using a sharpened flat blade screw driver and carving out a small bit of rock with it. Just not fond of roulette.
