Advice on what to do with algae growing on Acropora ?

[Addicted2Reef’n]

I unintentionally fragged my acro when moving around aquascape. It’s now in 3 pieces. The main body has healed in some spots but others have greenish brown algae covering the cut. Should I be concerned or let it do its thing which is usually my course of action.

FYI I fragged it probably a month or two ago

Algae only really grows on dead flesh. I scrub what I can off and put a thin layer of reef epoxy over the dead portion and let the healthy portion encrust back over the epoxy.

Ok. I worried about using a toothbrush on it. I have some reef putty and can put a small dab on it. I cld also try reef gel glue but the putty wld be easier. I assume the putty and epoxy are the same thing.
