I have a bowerbanki thats trying to grow new heads but the skeleton is covered in an unkown red algae thats almost branching and has a little bubble algae. Can i just dip in h202 or should i try manual removal first. Id rather just eradicate it all at once if possibly because i feel it will just grow back
 
I would manually remove what you can and then dip them in a basic 3% solution for no more than 2 minutes.
 
Try to blow it gently with a turkey baster. I suspect cyano and it will come off without moving the coral
You will then have to check phosphate and lower your white light intensity a little

I was able to remove it by hand, it wasnt cyano. Some kind of red macro algae.
