Bubble algae stuck to Sea Anemone

[SAM89]

Put new anenomi in tank. Had some loose bubble algae floating around. A bunch of it gravitated to, and stuck to anemone. Mostly on its base but it’s not happy. See picture. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

It won't be 'physically' stuck to anemone/ it won't grow on it, turkey baster pipette syringe or just put your hand in aquriam and create movement to wave/move it away.

Before your next water change, remove as much algae as possible, then repeat on your next water change, do this repeatedly and you will forever be on top of any issues

Remove all the bubble algae

Before it strangles your tank !!
Don’t wait for the next water change . Remove all of it ASAP before you don’t have the opportunity to do it without getting a foxface or have to use a chemical . This is a nuisance algae that once it takes hold will be a nightmare to get rid of .

Known as velonia can be an issue with power head intakes and aggravating coral. Larger ones can be twisted loose and discarded. For smaller and in tight areas, take a small needle and have 3/8 tubing ready and attach to end of tubing with rubber band and pop each one and siphon at same time- You will have removed all spores and foreign material in area.
Had to do this in the past with birdsnest coral and was gone 100%.
Other option is to add pitho crabs or emerald crabs (which I do not trust) which will eat them
