HAHA, gotta say, thats a funny picture, blow torching the little buggers away! I have tons of them though. After i posted the add, the next day i started to see tons in every nook and crany, its crazy. Some are aptasia and some look a little different. Like darker brown and the look stiffer, and thiner but look the same otherwise. Do you think i could turn the oven on broil and let it heat up then just put the rock in for a a few mins? Kinda like a blow torch but then the heat would be getting everywhere? I just picked up a 72 gallon that im going to need to cycle once i figure out were to drill it for a herbie overflow so i was thinking of either doing the broiling in the oven, or a quick dip in boiling water and then letting it cycle for a bit longer in the tank since its going to need to cycle for 6 weeks or so anyways, and add some of my crushed coral from my current tank to seed it to get a little bacteria going on a couple weeks? Do you think that would work?

Well I decided to just do it, i put the rock in my sink and pored boiling water over it until it was covered. I was expecting the smell to be terrible but it wasnt so bad, SOOOO I now have some cool dead rock. Its just under 15 pound so not to much. Im going to lay it out zap strap it how i like it, and then clean out the spare tank and re set it up with as much flow as i can get for a few weeks. Then i figure if i put some of my crushed coral and buy some more live rock which i was going to do anyways or use some of my good current live rock i should be able to reseed it, hopefully fairly fast?
