Scrub, remove manually at water change, consider upping the number and species of snails in your cuc.
Are you feeding aminos or vitamin C?

I am supplementing the water with ,amino acids, trace elements and vitamin c

I would stop those. They do directly feed cyano bacterias as well as beneficial bacteria and coral.

wow....my brother once called me to ask if that was "nemo eggs" lol I almost had a heart attack!
I treated his tank with chemiclean and all is well now :)
I swear by chemiclean when it comes to cyano. its SO easy to get rid of rather than spending time and effort doing water changes. Some dont like the chemical approach but its there...why not use it! lol
