    I have used a soft bristle tooth brush....works well, but still you must be gentle.... : )
    works well removing other problem issues also.

    the star polyps should handle the scrub'n..turn the lights off and let'em draw up and just brush'm clean..as for the bubble tip, I would use a turkey baster and just blast it away...use care fo'sure : but that should do it.
