Help Please
 
What are these polyps? They have taken over all of my rocks and are driving me nuts. I want them out. Kind of like green star polyps but ugly. Tried kalk paste but it just grows back. When all lights are out it is like little stalks.

Looks like clove polyps?

Any suggestions on removal. Probably gonna end up aquascaping and removing the top rocks that are covered. But there will be some that will be left and it spreads fast.

Well thanks guys. After looking at a few of the journals I hate to call myself a follower but time for an aquascape. I like the 2 islands look. Going to put the totally coated rocks in my sump or refugium after a good scraping. I'll have to scrape my overflows as well but have a concern with trying to get the scrapings out. Scenery change is nice but the whole process is risky to me. Especially since i'm going to be starting the 21 and 7 shift thursday in Ft.Mac

I could do that...and I'll bring some epoxy too in case it doesn't work.:lol:

Good luck with the aquascaping....I hate it too, but it is rewarding once you are finished..
