Default Hydroids

Do you have hydroids and how concerned are you about them? Any good ways to kill em?

Got a few patches. Tried kalk paste and really didn't work, so we've come to an agreement, I stop trying to kill them, they'll stop spreading. Truce been holding probably for more than a year.

Other than a chisel about the only other thing I can see working would be a little butune torch.

I put putty all over them....then they were gone...and then stick a coral over the putty! I didn't have many but enough so I then covered the putty with a small mushroom colony after a week or so to make sure that they were all covered
