cant kill button polyps !! any ideas on eradication

let me add on to my suggestion try to burn them with a soldering gun, and burn up there bases. i think thats a good idea but ive never tried because i usually do the opposite and try to prevent corals from dying lol. so let me know how it goes if you try it.

and you should take the rock out of the water when you do this.

 

yes i was going to say frag the shrooms to a diff rock and send me the buttons... thanks!

 

YEa I want to kill the buttons not me

 

couldnt you just take the LR out and scrub it
Im assuming button polyps are different than algae but when my boyfriend has lots of algae on his LR he just took it out and scrubbed each rock which made it clean
maybe it will work IDK im pretty new.

Hi gang,
I am amazed at how resilient some of these corals are. I recently had a disease in a collony of zoos were they were just decintergrating of the rock 1 after the other( Originaly when I purchased the colleny thier were 3 or 4 dammaged polyps on it ) dammaged so I thought, infact diseased.
So in a last ditched effort to save the collony I removed the rock form the tank and with a tooth brush and butter knife scraped and scrubbed 3/4 s of the collony away.
Once I was satisfied that the worst was behind me I diped the rock in a Iodine solution for 15min. and placed back in the tank.
Left behind on the rock were around a dozen polyps and a heap of busted up fleshy lumps which I thought would just decinergrate, amzingly enough its these little fleshy lumps that have now turned into small individual polyps.
I have whitnessed no dye off in any off the remaining polyps and now with the regrowth I am looking to be about a even head count ( let the good times roll ):laughings
Just sharing the joy, you now what I mean
