How to take algae off live rock?

[Jamesy]

I don't have hair or bubble algae, Just normal algae growing on my live rock. I want to get rid of it instead of boiling and killing the bacteria

A plastic scrub brush worked when I had cyano...

Will that not kill the bacteria?

That doesn't work to well, check phosphates and nitrAtes, if they are high, then you know why u have algae in the first place .
