I started that process this morning. Just don't want to do too much at one time. It's going to have to do until I can find a reliable source for my laser.
This is the paly i'm trying to get rid of



Here's a spot I injected after 2 mins and it took 6ml in a syringe. My ph was'nt effected at all. I have so many more patches to go.

I have that exact same paly all over the place (not on purpose). Mine started out as just a few that hitchhiked on some other colony of zoos I think.

My solution to this pest coral was to re-label them as "Kien's High End Designer Palys." I'm currently working on giving them a cool trade name.

Haha yea they seem to take over all other palys and zoas. PIA
Maybe you can start selling some great Kiener Designer Coral Packs if you group them together with the famous clove polyps everyone wants.

Had the same ones hitchhike on a new peice of rock. Spread over the rock quickly. Injected them with lemon juice a few times and that took out most of them. The few remaining I covered with Epoxy.

Texas trash Palys is what they are, and yep they grow fast, but I also found lemon juice killed them...

also called poisonyoutodeathicus paly so mind yourself they can be dangerous .

Update:
I'm slowly winning the war. I've been injecting the palys with muriatic acid. I've took out some bigger pieces of rock and traded to my LFS for branching tonga chunks. And as for the laserpointers, well I just don't trust any of the Americans to put the order down. It's a big chance to take with customs seizing laser pointers. There's a lot to learn about them and so far the biggest thing I learned is that there's too many guys claiming their pointers are better than they actually are.
