Killing brown palys

[fluked]

I have a zoa rock that i would like to keep, the problem is it has a few brown palys on it.
I don't want to scrape the rock (for obvious reasons) but I'm struggling to kill them, I have tried aptasia Xing them (at least 15 times) and they just get annoyed for a day then recover,
Does anyone have tips? I'm considering gluing rocks onto them? Or just getting a chisel and hammer (and mask) and smashing the rock up to get them off

You know the cold spray you use to blast a wart? Can you remove the rock ourmt of the water to blast them? Kills them in 2 seconds.

Pull the rock, heat an old iron nail head, and surgically burn them, outside, upwind (use a fan if you need air motion). A propane torch or bbq to heat the nail, wear goggles and gloves and for goodness sakes don't breath the fumes. I would cut the tops off first and the attack the roots.

If you can't do this safely, then just get the chisel out and cut the brown ones away completely.

I can now remove the rock,

Not yet, I'm still dealing with cleaning up my previous broken tank, then I'll be trying this out.
Probably at some point this week / weekend
