Hard to tell 100% with the heavy blue lights, if you are able to set to white and take another pic that would help. But otherwise when it gets that long nothing will eat it anymore, so manual removal will be the best tool if you can get in frequently and start pulling it out

If I remove with a tooth brush won’t it just float onto everything else

I would remove it from the tank completely - or as much as possible.
If it helps you could pull it out as you do water changes and suck it up as you go. But it will probably take more frequency than that to get rid of it, so if you are able to pull it out with your hands/gloves etc.. that will really help!

(other than the parameters, etc.. that you already mentioned at the start of course)
