HELP! question regarding moving a maxi mini nem

[dodgerblew]

I have a 28 NC mixed reef. About a year and a half ago I added a couple of 2 in maxi mini carpets. Very pretty nems; however they have grown. One is about a 6 in disc and the other 4-5 in. Because of their size they have encroached on some valuable real estate and has been stinging some sps and is soon to reach a very nice 3 in watermelon chalice. I have tried all methods to remove them. I have tried prying, credit cards, ice and blowing water on them through a PH. The feet of these two are anchored deeep in somme holes of tonga rock and they just recede where you cant get at them. I want them out so here is my question. Can I use the RedSea Aiptasia-X on them. I am trying to guage both the short and long term effect on the tank, fish, corals etc and would like input on this. I guess my biggest concern would be if I did use the product would the nems poison the water killing the fish? I have heard about nem vs. PH wars and fish being affected. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice.

I personally would not do that. I would not want to risk the nems turning the tank toxic. Your best bet is to move the corals. I have to remove a maxi mini and I have to break the rock apart to reach the foot and then it took two hours to rub the foot and coax it off the rock. I think killing the nems is one cruel and two would turn the tank very fowl.
