Very harmless. These are short lived and will dissipate as silicates reduce. You can peel them off with the edge of a credit card into a net if they are too many
They are not harmful and cherish algae if they get any

Agreed with Vetteguy. They will die back naturally as the silicates are used up in your tank. Also, the others that grow in your sump or areas that aren't on top of the coral will "outcompete" the ones you brush off.
