Getting rid of Green Palys?

[jacksammoms-tank]

I bought a rock of them. They are not staying on the rock. So how do get rid of them safely? I do not want to move them to my new tank!!

 

Anyone want to trade a rock of green palys for something?

 

Thanks, Toni and Jack, who really HATES them

Remember they are very poisonous as well.

 

I would toss the rock in the trash myself. Or trade it away if you can find someone.

Im not going to be back here until the 13th, but id take it and give you 2 pieces of rock in return? (are you setting up the tank in the next week or so though?)

Can you kill them lone volunteers? IF so, how?

I had them on a rock of magician palys and used tweezers to manually remove them. Make sure you wear gloves and eye protection.

tweezers and blade should do the trick. It is safest to work with them under water. The toxin (if there is any present) gets instantly diluted and lessens the chance of poisoning.

Whatever you do - Do not boil the rock!

I take a pair of bone cutters, don a pair of gloves and goggles cut them off the base taking some rock with them.

kill them off easily with 3 doses of AiptasiaX.
