    I believe the GHA was a breeze compared to these guys. I only cut my light cycle by 2 hours and reduced feeding to half the ration I normally use.

    They have now spread all over the tank and it makes me very angry that I have more each day that passes by. I will definitely have to do something with these creatures and kill them locally around the corals as you suggested. I guarantee you, they do get on your nerves when you see the web either landing on your corals and closing them up or floating in the water column.
    I have the gel super glue, and I´m absolutely ready to fire at will.

    Thanks for the advice.

    Just thought I would update on this situation:

    I've locally glue the opening tube of these suckers with gel super glue and also reduced the feeding to half. They seem to be starving out and I don't see their webs out so much anymore. This seems to be the way to go. Take care of all problems in 1 shot, and this way I guarantee I will kill all of them, even the ones I can't see or that are between the rocks. I wonder how long I can keep everyone happy with half rations? :)
