Getting rid of blue cloves?

[Youngster Dan]

Hmm, thanks for the responses. Lots to think about. The cloves wouldn't be so bad if they spread like GSP, but they seem to float off and populate other parts of the tank. Little jerks.

Since they seem to wax and wane and there isn't much as far as bilogical control, I may just leave them and try to control them with aiptasia x and manual removal. That being said, I am taking the tank down this week so it is a good time for more drastic measures.While the tank is being taken down I could trade the rock in. I have worked hard at getting good live rock with as little of the nasty hitchhikers as possible, so it would be a shame to replace the blue cloves with aiptasia or something similar.

I still remember putting in the blue cloves thinking that they were going to be a mistake. But apparently my tank was lacking "something blue".
