I have heard that you can blast and kill them with very hot water through a syrindge.

Most soft stuff can be removed with kalk paste (a little pickling lime mixed with some tank water will do). I use this to kill aptaisia when I see it.

If there is not a lot of them you could pluck them out with tweezers.
When our yellow star polyps get over grown, we take out the most of them.
