I have torched the rock and put it into the sump for a bit. I will keep an eye on it before putting it back into the DT. Thanks for the help.

Cheers
Lawrence

I had a bunch of this stuff on some of the liverock I acquired from a couple used tanks I bought to fast forward my 90 gallon...
I just used a butter knife and screwdriver to chisel it all of, it came off pretty easy, almost like they weaken the rock they live in or something....

Soldering iron!! What a great idea.

I've heard of people having some minor success epoxying over hydroids, but in my case, they just grew over the epoxy. Yay. Blowtorch, soldering iron ..if the rock is structural and can't be removed maybe boiling water in a syringe? (I've had some minor success zapping valonia and bryopsis with that trick)..
