Need some advice with blue clove
 
So I am not sure where they originally came from but I have cloves spreading all over my tank. The have started choking outsome zoas already. I have done a lot of research in to removing them with fluke tabs or Fenbendazole and was wondering if anyone out there has any first hand experience removing them with either.
Secondly if you have any tabs please pm me.
Thanks
Tyler

i could never get these guys to grow in my old system. I was running zeovit. So my guess is low nutrient with strong light would get rid of them.

Funny you say that, they really started spreading once I got my nutrients down and added more lighting.... Lol

Take out rocks and scrub them with peroxide.... That seems to kill stuff but I guess you need to do that in a seperate tank or frag what Zoas you can and start with new rock, I always grew them on a seperate rock on its own. GL bro!

Try doing patches of it with Kalkwasser a thick paste

When I went to bio-pellets the blue cloves started to die back, before they were everywhere, now you would be lucky to spot any. Unfortunately your zoas probably won't like bio-pellets either. I didn't mind the blue cloves to be honest.
