An algae scraper should make it.

That probably won't happen. Thus why I suggested the scraper.

You would try a chinese algae eater they are quick and my fahaka doesn't mess with mine, but it his really hit or miss, but the scraper would be best just scrape it during your water change and suck it up with it! So no need to waste a fishes life let alone money on trying it. It is frowned upon really.

A Chinese algae eater may survive but won't eat algae once pufferfood has been tasted

CAEs only eat algae when young. Adult want higher-protein foods.
