Problem is that they don't remove easily and I can't remove the rock. So that is the reason.

I would rather sell or give them away, but if not possible, then it isn't possible.

Kalk pasting should work but if you want to try something different you could cut out as much as you can and then scrub the rest of the rock while siphoning out the debris at the same time. A tooth brush zip tied to a hose should work.

Thanks Whatcaneyedo, you are absolutely correct.

Yeah...if you're rocks have other life on them...you are "screwed"

I've never had aptasia...but I make up for it in mushrooms.

I didn't realize syringes were so cheap. Bought 4 of them, 25 cents each at Shoppers Drug Mart.

Works easily with a syringe, they are all shrivelled up right now, probably will see what happens and jab them again in a couple days.

I have alot of nice SPS, shrooms are nice, but my 4-5 have multiplied and are smothering my exotic colored zoo's and getting too close to my SPS.

As I am not willing to dismantle my rock, as these are at the bottom of my aquascaping, my only answer was to kill. I hated doing it, but it had to be done.

thanks all for the advice.

Mushrooms can be very beautiful, and mine were quite nice, but they are kinda like aptasia and can multiply quickly.
