I would just leave it or just take the shell out of your tank place in small container with your tank water grab a tooth brush and have at it.

If you have Turbo snails, just grab one and stick it on there
I do this when I have hair algae on my returns. When they're done, they find their way back

I wouldn't do anything. It's algae.

Depends on the size of your tank of course...
