I have palythoas that despite how many times I've tried, I just can't eradicate. The last time I tried removal, other corals ended up dying from the toxins. I am wondering if using Sundial Snails could work? I don't have any other zoas or palys in the tank except the ones I want gone. They are covering too much of the rocks at this point to get rid of them without either dismantling the whole tank or risking crashing it by trying to pull them out. I know Sundial Snails are considered pests, but if I were able to get some would they eat the palythoas? And if so, anyone know anyone with them they are trying to get rid of :)

they can go after palythoa but it can be a hit or miss
