    Good article, but it says to Kalk these little buggers. I was talking to someone and they mentioned dunking the rock into Double SG Saltwater to kill them for 10 min.

    But this will only hold them back for a few weeks, these things are in my sump too!

    Haha I have a list of people wanting them, I will still try to get those out before I destroy them all. I can add you to the list if you want.

    Have you tried a Mejano Wand on them? That has always been my fallback if anything goes invasive in my wife's softie tank.

    No I have not. That might be a good solution, seeing I need to kill a lot of them this would keep my params stable.

    Keep up with the kalk. After a while the growth will slow down as you reduce the colony. Its an uphill battle, but I think it will be less traumatic for your sps than a hard restart.

    You could always pull them out and sell or give away.

    Fluke tabs will nuke them..and the only critter you have to worry about is shrimps.I mailed out free tabs all over canada and everyone was successfull in getting rid of their problem corals.
