Palythoa removal

[Jeff Cahill]

I have a lot palythoa taking over my tank . What is the best way to remove some or what coral could you put next to them that would sting them.

My hammers sting the heck out of my palys, but if you think you can sell em, i would frag em, bag em and do so. Your LFS may take them for a bit of store credit or even for free... i always would rather give away undesirable corals for free rather than throw them out, assuming someone wants them. If all else fails you can bleach the whole rock...

Depending on your rock you have, you can just cut them off. I used the bone cutters with jagged edge and just cut them off a little at a time. Came off easy but I have Pukani rock it's like butter. Where gloves and be careful with toxins for you and the tank.
