It’s a pretty common misconception, I have about 5 gorgs, two in a seahorse tank, these are attached to a rock, I pull this rock out monthly to clean off bubble algae, never had a problem. This one, picture below, sticks out of the water of my other tank.
In this tank, if you saw more of it, I have green algae on sand, and brown algae on the glass, but the gorgs don’t get covered, they are in high, high, flow though, which probably keeps them clean. I have read about using a soft tooth brush to help clean them, as others have mentioned, I’ve never had to do this though, but give it a shot. It is important to have high flow on them, in the ocean, they are usually bent over sideways from current.
My nitrates are zero, I feed a lot to try and raise them, but nothing. In my two tanks, having zero nitrates doesn’t seem to impact the gorgs.
