need advice: How to stop the base of a hydno from spreading

[orthokardia]

I have a hydnopora that has gotten too close to a teal stag and green slimmer. Is there any way other than physical removal? kalk paste?? other??

thx

You can kill it with Kalk or use mounting Putty to smother it and create a barrier, I did a similiar thing to my War coral by placing a Rock on top of half the colony to kill it!

u can slap epoxy putty on top to kill or in its path to make money

If you can take the rock out I always use salt mix. Just rub some dry mix on the area you want to stop. It will kill whatever it touches. Then just use some epoxy and make a small barrier over the dead spot.

thx for the tip on covering it. i was worried the kalk too close might be bad for the other corals

You can give that colony to me, that will stop it from touching anything else in your tank... LOL
