It can be scraped off with a tooth brush on the glass. I haven't touched the rocks I don't want to they look cool. As I'm looking at my tank right now the spots are coming back on the back acrylic and I just cleaned it about 7 hours ago. The alge on back acrylic is a brown maybe it's hard to tell its painted blue. The brown dots I get on the front acrylic is a little tough to get off I have to scrub with the brush pretty hard with pressure they are definitely brown. This is a close up of my rock.

It really is pretty very cool looking. Seeing it in person is better. Picture don't do it justice. Ty. I want to keep that alge and get rid of the glass alge.
