I have some real nasty palys that I need to get rid of. Currently I only have a couple small little colonies that have popped up. What can I use to kill them off? I'll follow with some photos.

I was using a heavy kalkwasser mix to target feed, but doesnt really budge. It is would be difficult to remove the rock. i think with the small amount I can target them.Pics of how they are would be good. The safest way is to just get rid of the rock. Aiptasia-X may kill them if fed directly to them.
No. I no longer have a ton. Maybe a total of ten.are there still a ton of them? from the pic you posted it looks like just a few in which case scraping them off would be best.
@Dan McNertney - Did you have any luck purging your tank of Palythoas? I've been trying to stop the invasive spread of Palythoas for a few years and have failed with every method. Did the Aiptasia-x end up working on your tank? I've tried it a few times, with no long-term success, but I'm hoping I just wasn't doing it right. Lately I've been cutting them off during a water change and sucking them up with the siphon hose. Although, it barely puts a dent in them and they come right back. Plus I'm scared of the Palytoxin, since the owner of my local fish store recently lost sight in one eye, when he was picking them off for a customer. Thanks for any help you can give.I ended up trying aiptasia-x. First thought is it’s like liquid paste. Much thicker then kalkwasser. Seems to stick to the coral. I’ll check back in in a few days to see what damage it did to the coral.
I'm curious how this turned out for you. I do not have palythoas in my tank but I am reading this.I ended up trying aiptasia-x. First thought is it’s like liquid paste. Much thicker then kalkwasser. Seems to stick to the coral. I’ll check back in in a few days to see what damage it did to the coral.
