I’m having a problem with hydroids and at a wits end !
They are stripping my sps and stopping my zoas from opening fully.
Looking for advice to treat without having to take everything out the tank if possible?

Never dealt with hydroids unfortunately but I've tagged a bunch of very knowledgeable people into the thread, and hopefully one of them can chime in. The only way I know is to take the rock out and manually remove them.

Welcome! What kinda advice are you in need of? Myself or others here can help you find it. I know it’s confusing at first

 

[samnaz]

What kind of hydroids are you dealing with? Colonial? Digitate?

I have them all...

Welcome to R2R! Unfortunately, I have no experience with hydroids, but I am sure there are many that have had experience and can help, such as samnaz for example!

I have them all...

A form of digitate I think they are a clear hair almost with like a star on the top if that makes sense?
I really don’t want to strip my tank down and hoping there is a way of killing them off while in the mixed reef tank ?
