So I bought green emerald crabs for my problem 2 days ago and don't know how long it will take for them to start eat the bubble algae.

Pretty quickly. Those guys are normally drawn to it like a magnet. They might need to stumble onto it.

My Reef is Alive and well Despite My repeated Daily attemps to kill it!!
So if they don't what else will
Not sure.
With a lot of critters that eat certain nuisance things like bubble algae and aptasia they only eat it as a second choice. Kind of like if you put a salad and a steak in front of me - the steak is the first thing to go bye bye. I might eat the salad later and maybe not.
