I had a real bad bubble algae problem in my 58 gallon about a year ago. I put three small emerald crabs in there (one of them died shortly after). The crabs pretty much solved my bubble algae problem within a month or two. The thing with emerald crabs, is that they gennerally can't eat the large bubbles, but absolutely love the young bubbles and the small shoots. So what you have to do is remove the big bubbles, then the crabs will eat any part that is left preventing them from growing back. I've now had the two crabs for about a year and a half now. They have grown considerably,caused no problems, and kept the bubble algae at bay.
