    a needle with kalkwasser will do the trick or should I go and get the joes juice? The Majano you guys say can stay but kill the aptasia?

    IMO I would kill them both. aitasia will spread more quickly but they are both pest.

    Crap. I have a couple of the same polyps in the bottom pic. I thought it might just be yellow polyps or something since they're so small and I couldn't really tell. :(
