So I bought a rock with some mushrooms on it and it came with some red bubble like algae on it. I plucked it off but it seems to be growing in my tank. Here is a picture of it someone else posted.

Question is, how do I get rid of it? Is there something I can buy that will eat it. Right now all I have in the tank is live rock, 3 mushrooms, and a rock with some "flowerpot" coral on it.

I would much rather buy something to watch to eat it than chemical it.

I had a bad bubble algae outbreak and took a couple of months to clear up. My main method was manual removal and water changes. I added a couple of emerald crabs but I think they helped minimally.

I think the easiest thing for you would be to just pull them off. If you want to add a few critters, maybe an emerald crab or some hermits.
