    Yeah, I had some hitchike on some LR(it was a nub of flesh, no polyps) and now I have a good 2' x 1' patch of it on a 30lb rock spanning the entire low level center section of my rock work. Thats gonna be a blast to remove!

    Grab and tear is the easiest way to get rid of it. Make sure when you remove it, to slowly tear it from the rock taking the base with the rest of it. Obviously any remnants will start over.

    if you pull anthelia the heads just let go, you have to remove the whole rock and either get rid of it or scrubb it to death.


    Also, KENYA TREE is another POS coral to avoid.
