Getting algae off of plants?

I had a big brown algae bloom after adding a bunch of flourish and now my amazon sword is covered in the stuff. Right now I have my plants in a 1.5 gal bowl in sand but I'm going to be moving them into a 5.5 soon. Is there any kind of critter that will eat the algae off the leaves that won't multiply in my tank or is there an easier solution?

The few times my anubias were covered with algae, I took them out of the aquarium and swept them off with a paintbrush. Some spots took a few sweeps, but it all came off. When I had to clean off my hygrophila, the algae slid right off with a light sweep of my finger. The plants look as good as when I took them out of the tube, if not better.
