Really hard to remove. Not sure how to remove it from corals without damage.

Its either bryopsis or gha, could you take a photo in white light? I would recommend a peroxide dip for removing algae from coral. It can definitely be done for zoas, although I dont think clove polyps take peroxide very well.
Heres a good guide for peroxide dipping
