My filefish sucks down clove polyps. Maybe you can find someone local with a filefish that loves clove polyps.
 
I just got done pulling my liverock last night and chiseling it off pretty easily.
 
Whatever you do, do not treat the tank with any chemical. I can tell you from years of experience and tons of friends tanks and personal tanks. no matter what do, do not use an in tank chemical treatment. Try the file fish maybe and then I would resort to taking the acros off the rock and putting in new rock and bleaching the old rock and maybe selling or re-using. Rock is very cheap compared to restocking a tank after you jack it up adding a chemical that kills your stuff

without a doubt, calcium hydroxide slurry + 10mL syringe (needle not needed). any local pharmacy will give you the irrigation syringe. apply locally (on the cloves, not the acro) polyps
will die for sure
