i might try some kalk, do you think boiling water would do the trick? or this stuff is free to anyone willing to pull or cut it off the rock.

Free Anthelia anyone?

Removing the rock really isn't an option, there are 4 types of zoos, a branching hammer toadstool leather and 2 hawaiian feather dusters atttached.

Also anyone know where i could get some good long reach scissiors i could use to prune this stuff?

boiling water inserted to the middle of the head seems to cause them to shrivel and die. I killed off about half a colony that way when I was hunting aiptasia that had taken refuge in the middle of the colony.
I imagine Kalk would work even better.

if you cut them they'll just grow back so bear that in mind...

I found tweezers to work the best to peel them off the rock. It took me over a year but I think my tank is free of anthelia...now all I need to do is get rid of the last of the kenya trees and a whole shwack of majano anemones
