You can't peel chucks off like GSP, or other polyp formations. They're individual little pests all over everything.
I agree this could be upsetting.

Nevertheless people would love apteisia for example, and pay $ for it, if it would be bright green or red, don't you agree? They would call it lovely easy to keep soft coral. I think some lfs are trying to do just that.

My point is that it is individual's choice. Free will.

At any rate it does Not look like i am going to get any lovely, easy to keep, incrusting, self propagating, nicely colored purple clove polyps :lol:

Unfortunately it doesn't come off in any form that is salvageable, so I couldn't give you any even if you came by. Although it is easy enough to grow, just put a frag plug near it, and it will grow onto it. Maybe I'll grow out a couple for crazy people :)

Years ago I would buy this stuff and it would never grow...disappeared never to be seen again. Today, I have a 10" slab covering part of my bare bottom tank...it's beautiful. Really, it is amazing...colour and shape. Is it spreading?....yeah. But frag it? Most impossible. Don't know where it even came from. Just showed up and grew.
Thinking back...I did get a couple of freebie frags from brad?:question::wink:

Praziquantal? I noticed that when I used Prazipro in my tank the xenia did not like at all. Also all my xenias melted with the copper poisoning but all the star polyps were just fine. Prazi did not seem to affect star polyps either.

I'm seriously thinking about trying an angel to see if it eats it. Only problem is I don't want him eating anything else. I have a tank full of sps along with a Cook Island maxima that it can't touch......dilemmas.

I have an Emperor and a Queen. Neither touches it. The Queen does love SPS tho...:(

Fenbendazole kills BCP
 
You can review my post about using Fenbendazole:

Good Luck,
