I have some mint colored palys that are on the same rock as some zoanthids and I am scared that they will choke out my zoanthids. If I was to super glue some of the polyps shut would this kill them? Would there be any negative effects to doing this. I would just scrub them off, but I am kinda nervous about paly-toxins.

Can you break off the part of the rock they're attached too? I had some like this that I thought I had removed all but they ended up coming back so I just let them be

The are really close to other corals so that seems like it might be a lot of work.

I've used aptaisa X on paly's before to kill them. It's worked pretty good.
