You are probably all thinking I am crazy with this post, but I have two nuisance acro pieces that I am not able to take out of the tank because they have scrolled across the rock. I cant take the rock out because it is a base rock piece, and these acros are taking up crucial rock space that I can use for other frags! Both of these acros I've had for over a year now, and they have colored up to a dull brown, and a dull green, so not pleasing to the eye!
I hate to do this, but the only option is to purposely kill them without doing something extreme to harm my other SPS..
So anyway, my question is how can I kill these off so I can safely put other SPS frags to grow there without having to battle the dull acros?? I have already tried spraying boiling water on them using a syringe, and I even went to the extreme of taking a screwdriver to scratch the crap out of the pieces, and they still came back and are healthy as ever... I never thought I would have a problem killing an acro because of how susceptible they are to slight changes in parameters.
