Best tweezers or tool for removing GHA and others?

[cleverrev]

I've started to get some GHA and another variety (shorter and darker then GHA) in my 20G. Since the tank is small, I have no problem staying on top of it by manually removing. I have 2 pairs of tweezers and neither one seems to be able to grab a hold of it. They close more towards the tip then across the whole gripping area.

Anyone have a link to a really awesome pair of tweezers or any other tool that can assist in effective removal?

TIA!

I have tried a couple things and the best thing I found are my fingers.

White stiff tooth brush from the 1$ store, double-sided.

Fingers aren't a bad option but it's tough to maneuver in a 20g! lol

Toothbrush is best for hair algae.

I agree with old/hard toothbrushes -- scrape and catch the GHA in the bristles rather than scrub and let fly all over the tank (as much as possible).

I did see someone post multiple times about using a stainless steel straw hooked to small hose to syphon which looked like a good idea but never tried it.

I've been using forceps, lots of them on amazon, to remove invasive palythoas. The forceps definitely work better than tweezers
