What are these and how to kill them

[Curtie44]

Like the title says, anyone know what these are and an easy way to get rid of them? They are starting to take over. They are even starting to grow on the sand bed.

Looks like some time of polp. Don't know what. I think you would have to physically remove to thin them out.

Yeah, that's gonna suck.

I agree. Some kind of clove polyp. Manual removal :/

Blue clove polyps. Kill them. Kill them now while you can. Kalk paste or aiptasia-x work well if they are relatively focal still or if you cannot obtain fluke tabs.

Yea, those things can take over a tank and kill/suffocate your corals quick. I had some hitch hike on a frag a while back and they grow fast. They grow out of the pores on the rocks too. Hard to get rid of once they take hold, took down the frag and a close by coral. I had to throw a whole rock out.
Get rid of them ASAP. Better safe then sorry
