How to Kill Purple Clove Polyps DIE! DIE! DIE! :)

[edikpok]

I have a bubble coral on one side of my clove coral and a brain on the other side. These corals seem to kill the clove polyps as soon as they start spreading. Mind you, brain coral tentacles are very dangerous to many other corals (if they touch)..

I run carbon and my blue clove polyps do fine. In the last year they have only expanded maybe 2" of territory but don't appear to harm anything. My SPS just grows right over top of them and they mix in with some of my zoanthids with no problems to either party. At the current rate of growth it'll be about another 10 years before I have a plague. I kind of like the look of them myself but I feel your pain as my GSP is another story.

My problem was that they were taking everything over. In fact, I just removed some off one of my softies. They were growing right on the tissue. It was only a matter of time before they started growing over some of my favourite corals.

I think I will have to continue with the Aiptasia remover

I like them, but I haven't had great success with them in my tank, I know they can be invasive but I used to just peel them away areas I didnt want them in. If you want to unload some, I will take them...next time I get into the Surrey/White Rock area..
