Is there any product from Api, or other brand that can be poured in the tank n will clean algae from ornaments ?

My ornaments started to show some algae on them n I don't want to take em.out n scrob em don't like putting my hands in the tank unless I have to.
I was thinking maybe you guys used something in the past that would work.
 
Dont add any chemicals to your tank except possibly dechlorinator when doing a water change or light fertilizer for the plants. Any other chemicals you add can be detrimental to the health of your fish.
 
Picture of the algae so we can identify it.

If you don't have many live plants in the tank you will get more algae growing.

Most people just take the ornament out and hose it off. If you have plastic ornaments you can bleach them for a few minutes to kill algae.

Why don't you want to put your hand in the tank?
If there's a disease in the tank or you have open wounds on your skin, get a long pair of rubber gloves and wear them when you work in the tank.
