roni April 13, 2012 Share April 13, 2012 I've got a few large brown palythoa that snuck in on a rock. I'm planning on killing them this weekend. I know we're not supposed to remove the rocks and steam them due to the toxins getting aerosilized However, any downside to injecting with kalk ala aiptasia? My plan is to inject 3-4 individuals every few days until they are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkcirca April 13, 2012 Share April 13, 2012 I've just been slowly coating them with kalk to get rid of them in my tank. Last time I removed a rock (let alone touched them with my bare hands) I ended up sick and miserable. Just wear gloves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind April 13, 2012 Share April 13, 2012 I would run some carbon during this time to catch any toxins released. If the rock is small and can be removed I would pull it and let it dry out, wash it, then return it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocko918 April 13, 2012 Share April 13, 2012 I use a chisel in the water to scrape off any unwanted zoos. If u just scrape off a little of the rock u will be able to pull out the zoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad April 13, 2012 Share April 13, 2012 If it is just 1-2, I frequently inject them with something bad using a syringe (vinegar is my usual choice, but kalk works well too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
