Ok, dinos seem to be non-existent (once again, YAY!) so ready to attack the hydroids. Anyone with experience doing the epoxy? I have small patches of these on almost every rock in the tank. It will be an extensive job.
I'm full of questions:
Here we go for a ride on the crazy train, LOL.

I never did try the epoxy trick so I'm not sure. If I was to do that though I'd only do a few patches at a time. The underwater epoxy is not always the nicest to work with (it's more of a putty than an actual adhesive). I could see this getting kind of expensive since even the cheap epoxy is still like $10 per tube.
Sorry I wish I had better experience to draw on. All I really know is that shortly after adding a potter's angel, the hydroids started to disappear. I had also read that pygmy angels (any of the Centropyge sp. angels) will nip at hydroids so I still think that might be worth a shot for you.

upside down jelly fish?? Hydroids will also retract when you touch their "crown" I have tried every trick in the book to rid my tank of these as they do sting some corals and can grow prolifically. NOTHING works though. The epoxy trick might work if you have 1 localized patch of them but in my experience, they just grow through or around the epoxy in little time. now I just suck it up.
