I wish I can! They are single polyp attached to the rocks. Your most welcome to take them all if you're willing to flight to Beirut [emoji23]

I had mine go crazy once.....I used a Kalkwasser solution on them directly with a syringe. You will want to turn off your water flow for a few minutes to let it set on them and kill. I do the same thing for aptasia that may crop up. Good luck!

I think this is your best option for now.If you can pull the rocks out while you treat them even better.This way you would be less likely to cause a spike in the water parameters. Some Angel fish are notorious for eating polyps,including the ones you want.And LPS etc...
Post some updated pics. Maybe you could try a little natural coral warfare? I think @kireek is the mistress of coral warfare knowledge. Maybe she could suggest something. Her coral is amazing!

As far as coral warfare goes,it is unlikely that anything will be able to damage the cloves faster than they can grow.A lobo for example may make a dent, then eventually be overgrown itself.Star polyps may stand a chance.However you may be just trading one weed for another.Thank you for the complement @Katrina71 ! I think.o_O
