I have added every sundial snail the LFS has gotten in. They completely ignore them. Of course, they head right for the zoos I actually want to keep!

Tailered Aquatics aiptasia destroyer might work.....I used it to melt a couple mushrooms that were encroaching to close to some sps.....

how about a blow torch??? ive heard of people using it for aiptasia might work the same here.


damn i bet its a messy thing though.......maybe you could just paint the ugly brown ones a nice yellow or red?? lol good luck buddy

Ive read that magensium concentrate applied directly to zoas or palys will finish them off pretty quickly and permanently.

Is that right? Hmmm.... that has potential. So how about just supersaturating some Epsom salts in RO? Maybe even boiling RO? Only problem is that the ones I'm really interested in getting rid of are sitting on my crocea clam and anything I do to them, I'm essentially doing to it as well....

Whatever you do, be careful of the toxins the palys can release. Either airborn, or through open cuts on your hands.

Y'never know.
