Removing Palys!

[steallife904]

So I am about to try another way to remove my palys. I tried putting corals that I know sting hard next to them and it did not work (which I was advised it probably would not). They are to close and above other corals to really try putting aptasiaX on them and there are a lot. My next idea for the spot on the rocks is to just cover them with frag putty??? Build a mat of putty and smother them, Should that work?

The ones that are growing up the overflow.... Idea is to wear gloves and scrape them off using my glass scraper while sucking out during water change or scrape off and into a net. Just very afraid of palytoxin with this method. I have a 3 year old in the house so worried will it get air born? Will it do anything to the tank water? Should I not siphon out? How should I approach this?

goggles, gloves, mask and bonecutters chip off the mat. You will have to repeat again in a few weeks after some new ones pop up.

Boil water in a mug, suck some up in a syringe and shoot it out at the base areas. It will cause the colony to slowly melt away.

I super-glued a razor to the end of a hose. Scraped and siphoned at the same time. Do it when the kid is out all day and open the windows.

so I was thinking something similar. So it is possible it will become airborne in the process or is kid out and windows open just extra precaution?
