how to kill unwanted zoa's?

no more, "frag them"
he asked how to get rid of them and that idea has been put forth so let it go.

i too have these exact polyps, i put kalk paste all over them, let it sit for 3-5 hours and then turned on the fans. destroyed alot of sps (the kalk misted over them) but no go on the polyps. used a turkey baster with boiling water (kills pest anemones) but did not hurt the brown polyps. these are palys so i dont think nudis will eat them either. i actually had to break down my tank. you can scrape them off but that spreads them. now when they pop back up (and they do) i just tweeze them out (but again, i have a sneaking suspicion this spreads them. now blue clove polyps are taking over (but somehow the sps kills them)

LOL abouth the sundial snail. I dont know if I would take the chance on the superglue not holding up! IDK where I would find one anyway.

I tried aptasia x last time. I am now trying joes juice. I covered them in it on Sunday. It is now Tuesday and they are still pretty PO'ed.
If this doesnt work my next step is to take a black "contractor grade" garbage bag and somehoow tie it over the patch. I am just worried if the garbage bag is reef safe. Any thoughts?

REALLY! The reason I have them on my frag rack growing out of control is because someone asked me to frag them for them. I did. They waited like 2 weeks to pick them up and now I have them growing on my frag rack. If you look up to the pictures I posted you will see what I am talking aout. They are underneath the chalice.

Shouldnt it be easy to scrape them off since theyre on such a flat surface, or rip them off like people do with GSP?

i used to kill mine with a syringe and some vinegar. Inject them in the mouth and pump em full . . .

Like I said, I just pluck 'em out with a pair of hemostats........seems the easiest way to me....
