Paly Removal

[BillB83]

What's the most effective way to get rid of some cpt jerk and royal purple palys? The purple ones are on a piece of rock I cant get out they were on their own island and have turned into christopher columbus and migrated across to another rock.

I removed the cpt jerks and apparently there were some left over who have now started to grow up the back corner wall..... i now understand why so many seasoned reefers hate these corals.

No secrets, just scrape and cover the spot with epoxy or superglue if they resurrect.

It’s not fun and often takes a few tries until the battle is over.

You can use F-Aptaisia. Just do a small patch at a time.

Be careful, palytoxins are no joke.

You can also chisel them off with a clean, flat tip screwdriver.

Run carbon to catch palytoxin in tank. Wear protective gear.
Fighting this battle. I use kalk paste mixed with 1/4 sodium hydroxide.

Thick kalk paste works for me. Or if you can remove the rock, denatured alcohol kills any and all things living on it almost instantly.

do you dilute it or just run it straight into a container of some ?
