I'm wondering of anyone has any tips on removing hair algae from a goni frag. The algae is growing in between some polyps not on the plug. It's an amazeballs goni so I really want to clear this up without risking the coral.
Thanks

Yikes. If it were not such an expensive coral I'd say put it in a mixture of peroxide and tank water to clear it up... But probably not worth the risk.

Maybe just get the polyps to retract and pull the algae off with needle top tweezers manually.
