Just be careful not to miss and hit your corals or other livestock. Maybe take a finger and chase out all the copepods and whatnot that live inside it. Otherwise you'll see a whole cloud of cooked copepods drift out after you blast it with the boiling water. Do a small patch at a time and wait a day and do the next batch. It will take a day or two for it to dissolve away. If it's really stubborn you might need a couple applications.
That actually works?
