If you can sump em for a month i'll buy a bunch, depending where you are.

 

[Captain_Nemo]

you can have them for free ! they covered the back wall of my tank and some rocks. I can scrape some off for ye when ever you want, located in Guelph.

Its mainly the ones on the rocks I want gone before they take over my corals. I cant frag the ones on my rocks so they must die !

Putty, glue. Blue clove does not sting though so if it's growing into an sps it will loose to sps from my experience, but will smother zoas.

Haha well, not sure what will eat them, but will definitely get in touch when my tank is cycled!

I have some that came on a purple digi frag, if anything they have just diminished over time as the digi grows. Not that that helps you out much . Good luck getting them under control!

Rub a bta on them...

Where you at? I'll sump em.

Figure out how to get em Jeff and we can split em.

If you really wanna just kill em off then I suggest Kalk paste, putty, and glue....
You could perhaps find a coral that will sting them off but this will take a while and likely not work if they are spreading rapidly

I find Aiptasia-X kills clove and GSP really well.

Just shut off all flow in the tank. Treat like aiptasia wait about an hr and turn pumps back on. May need to treat twice, but works like a charm. Also works on controlling mushroom populations as well.

Depending on how much you use, you might need to do a sm water change after too.

Kalk paste works too when you use it the same way.

Most angels will eat them (and lots of other things too unfortunately)

 

[Captain_Nemo]

Thanks for the replys ! I think I will try Kalk paste/ Aiptasia X. I will scrape a few pieces off and put them in the sump for anyone that wants to come by

Thanks !

Tannerite is now legal in Canada. As far as I can tell, it would be very effective on clove and GSP.
