Vibrant is definitely the way to go. My tank was infected by bubble algae. Plucking them off didn't help. No matter how careful I was not to pop them. From 5, they multiply to almost 100. Vibrant dosed for 2months and all eradicated. Never appeared ever. I had lps and sps. Never did any harm to any. As long as u follow dosage and be patient, it will do its job nicely
