You have a good idea here justinl! This may work for anything you want to get rid of.....and be less harmful to the rock. I can see this working nice on a couple of Aptasia I need to destroy Thanks for the tip!!!

lol, why yes, it certainly was a stroke of pure genius on my part I haven't tried it on aiptasia though; hopefully when they retract back into the rocks it won't keep them from being boiled. Try it out and let us know if the buggers come back. Tony, I'm sure the soldering iron method would work under water... jk
