help getting rid of algae on some corals

I got some long filimintis algae growing in between some candy canes, and in b/w some green star polyps. I've tried plucking them out, and even with a tooth brush and it keeps on coming back.

Does anyone have any ideas how to get rid of it? Maybe some kind of dip would work?





thanks a bunch!

I have lawnmower blenny that loves hair algae. I wonder if one of those would work?
