    Good luck and don't let it touch you. It may have a real bad sting.

    and with how sensitive my skin is deffiently wont want to get stung maybe ill try to kill off the other digitate hydroids that i have they havent really been a problem but if this is them and they are starting to spread its time for them ot go and i cant nuke that rock either, but i think ill try kalk paste for those guys they are pretty big so hopefully i will be able to kill them as well

    It does look like a hydroid but you will not "tweeze" it off. you'd be better off with a syringe with some concentration of Kalk. But be careful not to get the zoa.
