The best thing I know of that actually eats bubble algae is the Emerald Mithrax Crab. Not too much eats this stuff to my knowledge. If you have it in your tank you definitely want to get rid of it. Don't pop them, that will only make it worse.
Emerald crabs eat other stuff as well, but they are oportunistic, so make sure to feed a little extra to your fish now and then so that some of the food makes it to the bottom.
