Help Getting Rid Of Palythoas

[TORX]

So my tank is finally almost back to where I want it. The next hurdle is for me to attack the dreaded palythoa. My tank is slowly being over run by the zombie buttons and it is a loosing battle. Most are on rocks that I can not remove. I started vinegar injections tonight, and will kalk paste ones that are on level ground, but does anyone have an aipstasia zapper or laser I could borrow maybe? Anyone have any other suggestions on getting them out without taking the rock out?

I like them lol. Ship me a bunch in a few months?

They will not last that long. I have hundreds and will be destroying them anyway I can. Maybe if you are down this way I will save you 1. That is all you will need to overrun the tank.

Cover any spot that has zombie palys with a black piece of whatever size acrylic you need, or another rock, no light- no grow, might take a couple weeks but weakens the affect and toxins on the tank

[emoji24] Why so far away? Came home today to my last poly of pink hippo missing. These bastards are growing quicker then I can get rid of them.

Wow that sucks, do you have some pics so that newer members can avoid them.

Got a pick of them Torx. and you can make a wand quite easily but that may not do it either.

How is the battle going? I had to nuke mine from orbit, I had been doing the paste method, but there's just no way to keep head of them. I had one that grew 3" our of the substrate because I stuffed it upside down into the sand... looked like a crazy toadstool. I ended up with ONE of the damn things in the new tank, I think I got it with the paste but who knows.

This is some I still have yet to attack

This rock was covered. Got 90% of them, going to peel off the left overs.

Still struggling. Too many to hit at once without hurting the tank.

Wow, didn't realize how out of focus those photos were lol. Should have put on my reading glasses.
