I noticed today in my Seahorse tank that I have 2 small(tiny)bubbles showing up. As far as i can tell it looks identical to Bubble Algae, any suggestions for fighting it off in a Seahorse tank aka no foxface...

Can you remove from the tank whatever the bubbles are attached to?  If so, I'd suggest you remove it, very carefully remove the bubbles trying not to puncture them and then really rinse the piece you removed in salt water and put back in the tank.  If you puncture the bubbles you will release thousands of spores of that bubble algae.

+1. ^

Emerald crabs are also know to eat them but then you risk having the spores.
