The only two things I can think of would be to A) catch the tang and gently remove the offending algae or B) not catch the tang and hope he shakes it off on his own.

Other members of the #reefsquad might have an idea, though . . .

Just give it time. Having a bit of cheato stuck to it isn't a big issue. He should get over it pretty quick.
