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.

Wow! Corals in freshwater! Now that's a new sector for business

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

Just be careful yu don't use so much kalk paste you raise the pH a lot.

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.

Be careful what you wish for. We've all been there ... can't get them to grow when you want them too ... can't get them to stop when you don't.
