Best way to get Coralite (sp?) off glass?

[corwise]

My tank is starting to grow the nice purple coralite (or whatever it's called) all over the glass. Any good way to get rid of this stuff without sticking your hand in the tank? My mag cleaner doesn't do anything to it. If you do have to stick your hand in, what's the best thing to use? Thanks.

It's coraline algae, and you will have to scrape it off using a razor blade or a credit card. A credit card is best since it won't srcatch the glass.

A credit card will do the same thing but with one of these you can keep your hands out.
