What to do with algae on acro tips

[nim6us]

I recently moved from Gyres to MP40s and apparently I blasted the flesh off this poor acro. I’ve now moved the MP40 and it’s recovering, however algae has grown on some of the tips.

Should I snip all the tips to remove the algae or leave it alone?

I've had tips recover but not this many at once.
IMO,
I am inclined to say snip most if not all.
It's not going to look pretty after.

Yeah, I would like to know how the experts handle it. Usually I just let it be and hope the acro heal or grow over it.

I'm in it for the long haul, so I'm fine with it looking a bit unsightly until everything grows back. I'm mostly just concerned about what's best for the coral.

Am I helping it by snipping all the tips or is that just more trauma it doesn't need and the problem will resolve itself over time. Last thing I want is to fail to act then the coral has die off as a result of the algae growth.

The algae will irritate the coral, that is why I suggested to snip. Trauma or not, they break in the wild and still grow. It's fine.
