need to rid algae from zoa plug

[dmjr1201]

I'm gonna pick up some zoas I inherited from a buddy who is breaking down setup for good. He has green hair algae all over. The zoa plugs has some on it and in between zoas. How can I rid this before I put in tank ? I don't want to let this pass by one plug is rastas (10 polyps or so) the other is fruit loops (13 polyps). Help....

If you have snails and crabs in your tank they will clean it quickly.

Drip peroxide on the plug and it will be gone
Not sure I would dip the whole thing but all you have to do is get is soaking on the algae

If it is just hair algae, then a turbo will really do the trick.
