How do I Kill Acro encrustings?

[mic209]

Long story short, I have an AEFW battle ahead of me. Thankfully I only had 2-3 frags that started to encrust on my rockwork. Taking the rockwork out and dipping is not an option, so what is the best way to kill what's left on the rocks?

Cover it with purple coral putty. It will look nice. I did that on many montipora encrusted corals when I had Montipora eating nudibranchs.

Very easy !!!! And you do not need to move your rocks.

I ended up scraping with my coral cutters, it comes off a lot easier than I thought it would. Some parts came off the rock work in perfect chunks that I could of mounted to a frag plug. Did my first round of bayer dipping to all 18 pieces, I plan on dipping every 7 days for the next 4-6 weeks.
