Removing green hair algae from GSP

[SmokeyGnar]

So I've been battling a gha bloom for a while and I'm finnaly on the winning end! My GSP however isn't doing so great at the moment. It's still covered in hair algae

I've been picking off as much as I can by hand, but at this point I feel like I'm just pulling up the gsp every time I do this. Should I try dropping some snails on the colony to eat the algae? All my other corals are doing great and the algae in the rest of the tank is receding but this patch is still looking so green and healthy

This is how it looked before the algae took over

I have gsp on a rock that algae started growing on. I had taken the piece of rock out and did a h2o2 bath and scrub. The algae will irritate the corals. If you dont want to take the rock out , you can just lightly scrub with a toothbrush. The gsp will get mad and not open for a couple of days.
