My tank has been having algae issues and I finally seem to be getting ahead of it. What is the best way to remove gha from acans and a space invader pectina?

I tried a 50/50 peroxide tank water dip for 2 mins on a small piece of space invaders and an acan that wasn't doing well. It seemed to have worked, but is there a less harsh way to remove it?
 
Here is a bit of what I am dealing with. Is manual removal then a peroxide dip the best course of action?

In my tank I remove it manually until it went away. May take time and effort but in my opinion it’s the best way to not harm coral.
