Zoanthid Control

Hello - I have a problems in my tank: too many zoanthids. I have two colonies in my tank that are growing totally out of control. I want my tank to be more SPS dominated, but the zoos are taking over big sections of the live rock. Any suggestions on how I can control or reduce the zoos in my tank?
 
It all depends on how bad your problem is right now. If you can remove the rocks then you may want to try pealing the zoas off. If these are brown palys that seem to branch from polyp to polyp you may have to take a more aggressive approach, such as cooking your rocks or getting a tough brush to really mangle them up.

I had brown palys in my tank that would spread like crazy. It was cool at first, but it quickly became a plague.

If you want to get rid of all your zoas then ask if anyone has some zoa eating nudis.
