hi all,

If you can, blow it off with a turkey baster or gently brush it off with an old toothbrush. They should re-open after a little while then. Mine do.

get a new one for the tank so you don't kill stuff

Or clean it very good. Mine are used but I cleaned them well and they've never been a problem.

Or you can use a cotton swab and gently rub the algae off!

Good luck!
