pull the rock and destroy
if you can loose the rock completely do it, until it dries completely out.

incredible aquariums had a tank FULL of it.  I got some on some zoas...  I took the rock off and carefully pulled it all off with tweezers.  It hasn't come back.

I identified it as myrionema hydroids. 

I researched and found two products that people have had success with in their main displays: panacur, and ZeoSpur2.


Bill says that a regal angel ate it all from his tank...

One little piece floating away will just spread it.

Cant pull the rock, but i just pulled it all off. I will keep pulling it off. Only a small patch of it.

kalk paste to the max is good too

Put your mag up to 1500 slowly.

I know i have another one growing all over. Its short and doesnt grow tall. But spreads like crazy. I just tooth brush my rocks every other week and keep it at bay.

 

[harleymike]

Mag at higher level kills it.

 

[Neopimp]

it may also slow down or reverse you zoa growth I think .

 

[harleymike]

I will just keep pulling it out and scrubbing every once in a while with my trusty tooth brush. Always something.

I used kalk paste on the ones i had and then smothered them with epoxy.....
How high does mag have to be to destroy them? My mag is already at 1500....

 

[Neopimp]

I don't think mag will melt them without screwing he rest of the tank. I had them in my old tank and I tried alot of things and non worked.  Even a blowtorch.

So I bleached the rock try were on and good as new
