    So i have a batch of palys in my tank that are spreading and reproducing way to fast! I think they are even fighting with my Acanthastrea! Anyway i want to get rid of them or at least get rid of most of them! I just dont want them to spread off the rock they are on and to the rest of my tank! Should i consider removing the Chunk of LR they are on? Its a big rock and i dont want to remove it but id like to get these palys out and under control! Another thought i had was just trying to remove them with needle nose pliers! I hope they will just peel off but i have never tried to remove any before so i am unsure of this. If anyone has any experience with palys or removing them, please lend me a hand!
    thanks
    ;)

    Have you tried this before? I have gotten that stuff on plenty of my zoanthids with no problem. I seem to remember a thread like this before and aiptasia x not working also.

    So any other thoughts on how to get rid of these palys, other than taking the whole rock out of the tank! Is there any other coral that will kill palys, that i could introduce to my tank?
