    kalk paste will work fine or you can find someone that has a hydnophora for you to borrow. Just lay the hydno on the palys and they will be gone in no time. guaranteed

    nice.

    i got a rock full of ugly palys and I laid my condylactus on them. Buzzed down every single skirt but didn't kill any of them! I might kalk paste them as they grow.
