I took a huge rock covered in those palys out of my tank. Put it in RO for a week with no light (pitch dark).

Think that would kill them?... no they are doing just fine in RO.



Now they are outside on my deck. Lets see if they can live outside water and frozen haha. Im worred they might grow legs and come in the house during the night while im sleeping.

I use aptasia x to keep some palys and mushrooms under control. Kills the hell out of those!

Dump some vinegar in the bucket. Do a 50/50 mix water. They won't make it. This has worked well for me.

Aiptasia-X, Kalk Paste, and Vinegar will all kill invasive Paly's

Kalk paste is pretty much your only option with the GSP's

Got what seems like a bucket full of Aptasia X today in the mail going to start spot killing, or seeing if it will even kill these palys.
