You can do a hyposalinity run. You basically put the rock in a tank or container with water that has a very high salinity and wait for a few days-weeks. It should kill majority of the critters.

Might want to look into the Fluconazole cure or even using phosphate rx.
Load up on a clean up crew. Turbo snails really go after several algaes.
