 Single Green Bubble (pic included) Just bought this piece of rock. Hubby liked the shape. We were told throughly cured. After we placed it in tank we noticed these green bubbles.Any ideas? Good or bad. If bad how to get rid of?

| Re: Single Green Bubble (pic included) I had some and when I was talking to Leroy at GARF, he said to pop them with a pin, and the hermits would eat them; he said if they pop on their own, they will spread like crazy. I popped them and the hermits ate all fo the left over shells

| Re: Single Green Bubble (pic included) DONT pop them with a pin. As gently as possible use your finger to wedge it off the rock then get it out. While I am not pretending to be anywhere near as experienced as anyone at GARF that is just too risky. These things can spread like wildfire. |
