depending on where it comes from it can be harmful and VERY hard to get rid of.

I have a system that I used to have upside down jellyfish, now hydroids are everywhere tank raised upside down jellyfish LOL

I ended up boiling and baking the rock I had colonials in. I tried the regular mentions, paste, juice blah.... i even was using blow torch to burn them off every once and while but they kept coming back

The digitated ones ( long stringy things) dont seem to harm anythign in the tank so I have just left them alone.. they seem to be decreasing on their own for whatever reason.

I have tried the blow torch thing too. Worked for a while, but they come back from the same place in the rock. After I find a really big syringe I am going to try boiling water.

Fluke Tabs one capsule per 100 gallons but it will wipe out all sorties and shrimp.

What corals will a fluke tab harm?
I have hydroids growing on the base rock of my suncoral and need to nuke them somehow.
