I've heard of people using torch lighters to kill pests, though you'll also have to take each rock that has them out of the tank. If you do this you'll most likely kill off all the coraline, pods on the rock and possibly other corals(if you hit them with the flame), but you could kill off most of polyps/hydroids within a few days. Then I would use epoxy on the ones that are too close to the corals to use the lighter. But if they are all over the sides of the tank you'll have to use a razor or sponge to get them off the tank, doing this would require draining the tank unless you use a water vac leading to the sump, for that you'll need a filter sock on the sump side of the vac to catch the remnants.
An interesting suggestion. If only they were not so close to my corals. I would likely kill my corals...thanks
