What are your best methods for removing algae, especially GHA, from around zoas?

My zoas are doing well overall, but I keep getting patches of GHA growing between the polyps. I’ve been removing it manually with tweezers (see video), but it’s pretty tricky. I have to reach quite far into the tank, which makes it hard to be precise, and I’m always worried about damaging the corals.



Is there a better or safer way to deal with this? Any tools, techniques, or approaches that have worked well for you?

Thanks in advance for any tips!
