They took over my 30G Aquarium. I tried dipping corals but did not work.

I've heard of manually removing rocks they are hiding in and dipping them in fresh water so they come squirming out (if you take this route definitely wear gloves and be careful!)
Also could introduce natural predators such as wrasses, crabs, or shrimps that may eat them.
Other than that Idk if you want to use products to kill them...
 
If you started with live rock then that is where they came from.

You could get an arrowcrab or a coral banded shrimp. You could also starve them by making sure less food hits the rocks.

I've tried fresh water but they did not come out. Tried trap and did not work maybe catch one or two. Manually removal did not work as they get cut and split while they were trying to run. Dipping also did not work. I have shrimp but he does not eat them. I tried butterfly 2 times but did not survive. :(
 
I did not feed mine wrasses for quite a while and they eat them alot but I still have them
 
take a piece of nylon stocking,or fine mesh fishnet,make a ball w a small piece of cocktail shrimp ,sm piece of rock gravel to hold down ,zip tie shut ,they one will come after when lights go out,pick out w tweezers,let sit overnight they will get stuck in netting ,pull and discard after 24 hrs ,works well ;) :)
