Tl:dr. Does Muriatic Acid dissolve soft corals or just kill it? How long does it take?
Let me start by saying yes I'm aware of the precautions to take when working with Acid. I always have some on hand as I have a pool. Now that that is out of the way, I just removed a bunch of rock from an old tank and some of it is covered in gsp and some old zoas (rock will be bleached, rinsed and dried long before treatment to avoid any paly concerns and toxic gas concerns) and kenyas and such. If I place the rock with coral in acid, will it dissolve the gsp and other soft corals? I don't want it just dead, I want it gone. Is there an alternate way to achieve this?
