Seeing as it’s only been up and running since Saturday, nothing in the tank yet.

what’s the best way to kill? Boiling hot water directly on it then removal?

One easy way is go and buy cheap super glue gel (has to gel not liquid) pull that rock out if possible and make it mad so goes back in hole it most likely has and seal it in. Completely and it will die not long after

If you have a syringe you can inject it with lemon juice or kalk paste. Covering it with superglu will get it too. I don’t like boiling water in saltwater coz it can trigger palytoxin release if you have zoa/palys, but I’m sure that would kill it too.
