So how long will it take to kill them. and do they come back? what causes them to grow and come up .
Ya, they can be a BITCH!!!! That is why I went to the xtreme of pulling all my fish out. Logic behind that one is they were getting plenty of food wen the fish were fed, not hungey, didnt have to go searching for food. I pulled all m fish out, added a couple more peps and did not add a single drop of food into coral tank. Eventually they figured out there was no food coming and were pretty much "starved" into resorting to natural behavior. Not the most practical solution. It was actually a pain in the arse. They are a common hitch-hiker on live rock which is one of the reasons a dip and short quarantine are recomendd before they go into the display. Observe a "newbie" for short period to see if there are any "bonus" corals. Also any nuisance pests like snails are much easier to spot and remove from small QT tank than display

Well, the verdict is out. Muriatic acid is unbelievable! And cheap too folks. Less than 10 dollars for a 900 ml bottle. In total I used less than 5 ml. Just shut down circulation and began the hunt. U could almost hear the screams.....it was BLOODY AWESOME!!!!!!
A huge shout out and thanks to all of u fellow reefers. This hobby is so much better with all of u out there supporting guys like me.
