Reclaiming real estate from palys?

[happyhourhero]

How can I get this ground back from the palys? I cannot remove the rock. Any ideas without messing up anything else in the tank?

Suck up 5ml of copper into a syringe and squirt the play with it then repeat

Good luck with those green/brown palys. They're tough ones. I would recommend gluing a small rock over the top of them. You can't glue on the palys themselves, but you can attach to nearby exposed rock, and just go right over them.

I never had luck killing palys in the tank. Bad thing is if you try to rip them out or nuke too many them in the tank they can release toxins. Even if you get a few at a time any scrap or piece of its foot will regrow new palys. I always had to remove the rock, dry it and re-cycle.

You are really telling me to squirt copper in my reef?

Lol sorry about that i meant calcium. I've had great success with getting rid of aptasia , manajos, and nuisance polyps shooting straight calc at em

This is way off topic but @ritter6788 i LOVE your advatar. Are you on any other forums???

Calcium wont do anything to palys they might grow stronger from it.. If you want to kill them try injecting them with a small amount of carbonate. Like 1-2 ml of solution at a time.

all off avatar and the best recollection of 2006 I can currently offer


Just saw your name is Gabriel but can still leave my guess unedited heh

If I inject with kalk, how many you think would be safe to pop at one time?

Also this is a long shot but what if I rub some hydnophora on them?

Your kidding right ?

Lemon juice in a syringe. Do a few at time with water changes so you can siphon the "stuff" out, slime etc.

That's how I got the green brown paly out of my tank.

Hydrogen peroxide in a syringe use small amounts when doing so basically it's the same thing as using the hydrogen peroxide crystals to get rid of ich in a reef system works great make sure you inject into the mouth and watch the paly melt

Take a pair of bone cutters and cut under the corraline to remove the palys. It might take some time and sweat and achy back but you should be able to remove most of them.

You could always take some of them out and give them to someone.

Never tried this, but curious. Has anyone ever tried the majono wand on them? And if so, do they still release toxins?

Would you like a side of aiptasia, flatworms and AEFW with?
