I have a few really encrusted SPS, what effect would 30 days of darkness have on them?

time to break out the hammer and chisel.......I took out the rocks and literally cut/chiseled/dremeled out the entire portion under the xenia I was try to "move"........no trace left......

I had a patch of Xenia I wanted to eliminate once. What i did was, after cutting/scraping the main stalks off of the rock, I smothered the remaining bits that was on the rock with a layer of epoxy

They would be dead too so you would need to remove them as best you can if you want to follow my method. However when I chipped my pavona off of the rock and then left the rock in the dark for a month the encrusted portion of the pavona did come back to life once the rock was returned to the light. Buts its a really hearty SPS. I doubt an acropora could do that.
