Input Appreciated

Hello all. My LR and rear tank glass is overrun with Qtip looking creatures. After researching on the hHijackers ID thread I know these are harmless filter feeders. However they are very unappealing. What is the best way to remove them with least amount of stress to my fish? Will brushing them of The LR get rid of thefor good? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I probably wont be the one to i.d. your pest,however I am sure that you should post a picture if possible. Good-luck.

Oh btw they are identified as filter fan worms on hitchhiker thread. They have also spread to filter but i keep removing them from there.

If they are Q-Tip Sponges (Sycon) or Feather Dusters then they will just come back. IMO you should learn to love them, they are part of a healthy tank.
