Two methods... 1) fix the problem -- Figure out the imbalance in order to fix the problem. This should be a long term goal either way. 2) bleach bath -- a 1:19, bleach:water, mixture submerging the plant leaves for 2 minutes for delicate plants, 3 for hardier leaves, and 4 minutes for anubias. Try not to get the roots in the mixture. Soaking wood in this way will also work for removal.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know I could soak my wood and plants, but I do this with rocks.
