Try and get it off before it goes black else it will then be very difficult to remove. I have the same problem on my boat and what I do is go down at low tide on a warm day when the gunk and weed have dried then remove it all with a green washing up pad. After that I apply a few layers of surfboad wax which will retard the growth for a few months. It's a nuisance but not the end of the world as it won't damage the tubes in any way no matter how much growth there is.
