I need to kill off a few heads of paly's that are starting to touch some of my SPS. These things grow like weeds. No way to take the rocks out. What would be the best way (if there is one) to kill off the ones I need so they don't release any palytoxin into the tank? I've come across a story or so in the past of someone cutting some off a rock, putting the rock back in which resulted in his tank completely crashing (at least corals). Would aptasia-x be a good choice or do they release the toxin any time they die?
