Hey all. I noticed today that a zoa is taking over my australomussa coral. Is there anyway to safely remove them without hurting myself or the coral?
 
Kalk paste, Aptasia X, F-Aptasia if there’s just a few.

I’d cover just the polyp.

I kill individual palythoa with a dot of F-Aptasia, it goes hard and encases, break it off a week later.
