Added a juvenile scribbled rabbitfish today. I'm hoping it has a love of bubble algae in a way that removes it from view.

Thanks it is! It's following around the tominini tang like a lost child but is doing great

I've found the rabbit fish will clean up the burst bubble sacks but not the actual bubbles themselves. This is only based on me never seeing it doing it and that I still have some bubble algae here and there.

Despite anecdotal evidence suggesting that the algae contain spores which will reproduce rapidly if burst, I've not had an increase in algae spreading since just deciding to go nuts bursting them and ripping them off. This also coincided with putting a biopellet reactor (now offline) on the system. Will see how the algae goes now.
