I purchased a frag about a year and a half ago that apparently had blue clove polyps on it. I do not remember visually seeing the cloves. At first I thought they added a nice element to my tank but now they have taken over my tank and choking out zoas an other corals. They are even all over my maxima clam. I was planning to completely take down my tank for a move and treat everything but wondering if there is an alternative. I have heard of fluke tabs but sound risky. Anyone else have experience with getting rid of these? Here they are choking out my rastas:

Fluke tabs were discontinued, so good luck finding them (although I still have a stash). Kalk paste and sodium hydroxide works on what you can see in small treatments. ------------- www.reefdup.com Diving since 2009, reefkeeping since 2007, & fishkeeping since 1987 200g, 75g, & 15g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water |

I wouldn't sell these due to tank impact. You would hate me later.  |

If you would feel bad for selling these, then would you be willing to give some away? One man's weed is another man's garden. I have a nearly empty 29 gal biocube that I would LOVE to have some of these in. On a rock, but itself, to the side. It wouldn't spread beyond where I'd want it. Think about it. Thanks! |

I looked for any posts znoob did since this one but unfortunately, this was the last time he posted here. He is probably gone from the hobby by now. I have more free stuff if you want to call or text.
