moon brain covered in algae

[Eric Max]

I have very bright green moon brain in a 120gal tank and it started growing green algae on it. then it started to dull in color. i tried to blast it with a turkey baster type of intrament, that didnt do a thing. then about a week ago, i redirected one of the powerheads to blow right over it to see if that would have any affect... nothing. i know that the algae isnt good for the brain, so it must be bad. any recomendations or suggestions on what i should try to do to get the algae off of it and to brighten it up?

thanks

Two solutions: run Phosban to slow down the algae, and get some scarlet hermits: the very small sort. They can actually sit on a coral and pick algae off with more delicacy than any instrument can manage, and they won't hurt it in the process. I've had a little plate coral dieback, and one of my scarlets has been working on it with very good result: the plate is starting to recover.
