Killing palys!!
 
I have some palys that took off in my tank after being away for a week. They are slowly startin I take over some of my zoos and I was wondering how I can kill/get rid of them. Taking the rock out isn't an option as its on one of my base rocks.

Whatever you do make sure you read up on Palytoxin and protect yourself.

Do NOT use boiling or really hot water

I have found out the hard way about palytoxin inhalation.(in the steam)

If they are brown palys, you have to drive a silver stake throught their heart, otherwise they will grow back...

Seriously though, brown palys are notoriously hard to kill, you can try using an aptasia killer (aptasia-x or joes juice). They have worked on occasion, Ive killed a few recently but some strains will just bounce back from it. You can also manually cut them off the rock and glue/epoxy over the area and that should work as well.
