Small amount of bubble algae, seems isolated to just the plug and side of the skeleton of an acanthastrea frag. I've manually scraped it off a couple times but comes back. I can easily remove the entire frag and dip it. I've seen to use hydrogen peroxide, but not seen anything specific to acanthastrea so a little nervous. Can anyone please confirm if that's what they'd do, or have done w/ their experience? Just the 'typical' dip %/time etc? Thanks in advance!
Isolated bubble algae on plug/coral skeleton - dip?

I would manually scrape it off (outside of the tank) and then use a peroxide dip.
Additionally, an emerald crab or two can help keep it at bay.

How To Get Rid Of Green Bubble Algae
Green bubble algae looks like a bunch of small green bubbles, often found in bunches. Green bubble algae is often firm and can spread quickly if popped.
Yes sorry - I didn't dig hard enough, and later found this video and followed it. I did make sure to scrape off all visible bubble algae outside the tank too. This AM the corals look ok but haven't yet fully extended.
