Anytime I move, I empty my tank and carry it with all corals, rocks, etc, in place. They've been out of water over an hour without issue.

I would scrub the HA off in a bucket of tank water, then rinse in tank water, then put it back. That way, there is minimal time outside of water.

Oh, and keep in mind, even if you scrub it all off, as long as there are nutrients, it will come back. You might want to get the source of the algae, not worry too much about the algae itself.
