What is a good invert to eat bubble algae?

My Yellow-Tailed Damsel is the only fish in my 10 gallon. He is very territorial and the tank small. I have slowly multiplying bubble algae. What can take care of it? To reach some of it by hand I would have to pull the live rock out, which I don't want to do...

A mithrax crab will eat bubble algae. I have one in my tank and he keeps it under control.

Im not sure if this is the same thing as a "mithrax" but emerald crabs are suppose to eat it.

Yup, ECs are Mithrax sculptus. I wouldn't bet on it as a sure thing though, my little emerald doesn't even touch the Valonia in my 30g. There's nothing else visible on the rocks other than corraline, I have no idea what she's eating, but bubble algae just isn't her thing. Good thing I like her anyway and don't mind a little macro in my tank.
