I was wondering if the same methods used to kill aiptasia could be used on yellow polyps aka Parazoanthus. I have way too many in my nano and they are encroaching on some of my sps. One of my digitatas is definately not liking the new neighbors so I was thinking of using Vinegar or something and slowly....maybe injecting 2-3 of them daily until they are gone. BTW my nano is ok and although I lost a few pieces all is well after the accident.
Thoughts?

I'm not sure but I was thinking that perhaps the same methods of killing Aiptasia would work? Maybe some kalk paste, Joe's Juice or some scolding hot water?

Joes Juice did NOT work for me on Yellow polyps. Only thing that worked was taking that rock out and trading it in for a rock WITHOUT the polyps!

heck, just give them to me.. that is a sure way to kill them off.. since i have been in this hobby, i have never been able to keep yellow polyps! :slap:

Saltjunkie....this could be a good thing that you can't keep them. I now consider them a menace and put them in the "weed" category along with Xenia. I'll keep you guys posted on what works for me because where there's a will there is a way and I will kill them off.

i better get me some then.. i like the weeds..

i cant get mushrooms to stay alive in my tank either.. but right now, i got button polyps and xenia growing like mad! maybe i better try some of these!

I think it goes inverse, when I had Xenia, I couldn't grow yellow polyps, now the xenia is gone and the yellow polyps are EVERYWHERE!

i like corals like thAT, just grow on their own.... no need to buy new stuff.... my friend (before the hurricanes) had a xenia tank and i thought it was pretty cool.... i myself placed my xenia on the side glass.. where they have stayed... not sure why, but i am happy about it... ill get a pic here.. but it started with 2 lil stalks....

if i could get more corals to grow like this, id prolly be real happy...

another reason i dont want to switch tanks...
