Putty is the best bet, flatten it out and place it over the areas, it will die off without light,  I get rid of paly's this way.

That is why you always keep things like gsp and xenia on isolated rocks.....

Great growing coral, but i have mine on a rock on the sand bed by itself. It even grows along the sand bed and I have to trim it back once and awhile.

Sorry for the confusion I was referring to green button palys. Maybe to many drinks last night
I will try the putty idea

It's the safest because you don't get all the crap all over your hands or in the tank, they just shrink and disappear.  Be vigilant, some will grow out and around the putty.
