Syphon it off, it will return, syphon it off again.
The real solution is to find what is causing the cyano and eliminate it. Try doing a search on this board for cyano.
The fake corals will need regular cleaning as all kinds of nuisance algaes will attatch themselves.

I beleive cyanobacteria can be the product of poor water circulation. Of course it needs a food source but improving the water circulation will help.
