Best way to kill pest Zoa/Paly?

[tritonpower]

So far I'm thinking about boiling tap water to keep the chemistry more or less consistent and injecting a couple a day or a few a week.

I'm also considering F aptasia but it's really hard to use on a vertical face.

I use aptaisa X. I usually kill a couple aptasia a week and I use the leftover to inject into any palys that are growing where I don't want. Works well.

They just don’t die. I pulled a rock out to kill off the palys and drill frag plug holes for zoas. Rock was soaked in h2o2, left in the workshop for hours, drilled. Stuff that would be terrifying if there was a single wanted coral. Two weeks after it was back in the water, the grey palys are growing faster than before. Didn’t want to bleach it and kill bacteria. Should have baked the thing in my oven. Someone needs to genetically modify all of the things I can’t keep alive with a touch of ugly paly genes. They would make a fortune.

You would aerate the palytoxin by baking it. Good thing you didn't.

feed them aiptasia x or franks f aiptasia. It works really well if you put it on them and then poke them so they close up.

I'm terrified of Palytoxin after being poisoned once..
Will they release the toxin when they're slowly dying? How does that work?

Never noticed anything after killing mine. I have a bunch of nirvana zoas taking over. I’ve killed up to 50 at a time with no noticeable side effects.
