Has anyone had success with a foxface eating bubble algae?
TIA.

Mine doesn't touch the stuff. When I did have bubble algea, I didn't feed the tank for two days and my naso took care of the patch in a day. As a reward I started feeding the tank again:)

Mine eats anything and everything that's a plant. If I set a rock that has hair or bubble algae in the tank I can barely get it in there before he's trying to eat it.

Mine never touched it either.

Mine had zero interest in it, neither did emerald crabs. I've seen a few people who have had success with Naso's

Anyone else?

Is there anything else to rid my tank of this stuff other than hand picking it.

Mine eats all algae--it doesn't have a black spot on it's back--FWIW. I think if they get hungry enough, they would eat any algae.
