I find that you can sometimes use a siphon tube and dislodge Valonia by gently pushing on them. If you can remove the rock or get to them in the tank, a sharp implement like a drafting knife and snip the "root" and they will float up where you can get them.

If they start to become a plague, you need to address excess nutrients just like you would for Cyano or hair algae.
