Clove polyp?

ID-Reefer · Feb 20, 2022

Trying to figure out what this is. Not something I’ve purposely added. Does not seem to be harming near by acro or blasto but assume it’s not something I want. Trying to kill with kalk paste is going to really difficult with frog spawn a hammer and rock flowers below this area of rock. Maybe super glue? Thoughts on what it is and how to kill?

The new Reef Delete would probably work really well on this.

Interesting.. haven't seen this before. Little spendy. Id wonder how accurate you can be with it - seems like you could damage near by coral with the UV-C light but maybe its easy to pin point. Do you have experience with this?

Any other thoughts?

Maybe cover it with the epoxy putty? Won't drip and should be able to completely cover it up.

Looks like the little clove polyps. I have had it before. Did not do anything and they kind of died off. If they are not bothering anything, I would just leave them. Cool, more life. If they bother you or other corals growth, you may need to try glue of scraping off if you can get the rocks out.
