Poccillapora

I need help with Poccocillipora taking over take. It has spread to every rock, growing on snails, now even growing on the glass.

Everything it comes in contact with ends up with damage to it.

I tried kalk paste but with so much raises alk to much. I tried encapsulating it with glue/ not good method, tried reef welder epoxy but when I removed the epoxy, I guess trapped ammonia was released in large enough quantities that it killed nearby acros.

I really don't want to think about tearing down system. All suggestions would be appreciated.

Pic is it growing on back glass.

I had 7 Rose Bubble Tip Anemones. As long as they stayed in the rock scape things were good. My spawning pair of Picasso clowns loved it. Then the anemones started to move and stung my sps corals. I had to make a decision. And so I got rid of 1/3 of my rock. And no more anemones. But I’m so glad I did. It allowed me to move forward and do what I want. Tough place to be in but there’s definitely light at the end. Good luck.
