Polyps

Well when i was a newbie i got gifted some ugly brown polyps now they are growing like crazy and all over everything. I want to get rid of them so it will stop making my tank ugly. What should I do to go about getting rid of these? I wouldnt mind so much if they had color instead of dookie brown

 

Remove them from the rocks they are on. Peel them off or scrape them off, whichever works. Or replace the rock they are on.

 

you could change your lights to actinics and see if you can bring more interesting colors out or try to breed in more color from another frag. Its hard and may not be possible but it would be a fun try

 

:LolLolLol Im not fond of that color either :LolLolLol

 

lol ok ill prolly just take the pieces out that i can and scrape them off, when i say theres alot, i have a 10lb rock and its completley covered in them

dont forget to handle with gloves as you will be handling a lot which could expose you to a large QTY of palytoxins and make you feel ill

Maybe some safety glasses too.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the brown corals. I still have a couple brown things from the early days of the tank.

 

lol never thought of the toxins, im very glad you told me about that, im gonna put some on a plug and stick it on the rack i have for other newcomers to the scene in my area that would want them
