Bubble algae acclimating???

[Foxchase]

So I bought a frag and while acclimating I noticed there was bubble algae around it. I don't want to add it to my tank. Need some help quick

Just pull it off with your fingers. They are alot firmer than they appear

Also, remove the plug to avoid any future problems

Or use tweezers if you have fat fingers

So the algae was touching one of the 2 heads of the mushroom so I cut it to the point only the head not touching it was left and the foot was on a small piece of rock. Dipped it in hydrogen peroxide for 5 minutes. Cut a piece of a frag and put it on there. Hopefully that got rid of it. I'm crossing my fingers.

I would have scraped it off, and used a toothbrush to lightly clean the plug with h202 before I put it in.

I just cut the ok piece off. While dipping I had a 4 bristle worms come out and some small red dots and it looked like there was possible vermetid snails so I didn't wanna risk it. It was pretty gross
