I hand remove them by scraping off with fingernail or toothpick. You can glue some as well. If you have the tank size, a yellow or melanarus wrasse are options to reduce populations.

Do not use fingernail as any calcium can stab you under fingernail (ouch). I recommend paring knife or plastic scraper or even edge of old credit card in a container of tank water ( do this outside of tank)

I have loads of spirobids in my aquriam, there shell is like rocks, and they are so tough to remove. Even smooth surfaces they grip, I purchased a cuticle manicure set and use the profiling knife to remove off my equipment, unsure how to remove from rocks ... They are tough
