bubble algae on zoanthids

[Divemaster561]

Hey reefers,
I'm struggling with bubble algae in my zoa tank and I was looking for recommendation's on how to remove them, and if they can harm and kill my zoa's? Can the bubble algae be manually removed? I was thinking of going through them and using tweezers to remove them. My tank is a nano tank for now, but I am probably going to move them to my 60 gal but wanted advice on ridding of the bubble algae before moving them. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can manually remove it. Are your zoas on plugs and able to come out, or are they attached to the rocks? You can experiment with different instruments for removing them. I use a bbq skewer + bulb/pipette to work them off the zoas and then suck them up into the pipette for disposal.
