You can use a small diameter tubing to suck it out. Just us a PH to start the siphon and suck it out. Pray it does not return.

Agree with Ellis, siphon it out. Also check you PO4, there is a reason that it is thriving and this is usually the culprit.

turn off all powerheads/filters first. cyano is really 'flimsy' stuff, but with no current it won't shred as easily when you pull it up.
