Made the mistake of adding purple death plays and gsp to my rock and they are starting to take over. What is the best way to remove them ? the rocks are fairly large and have other corals on them that I’d like to keep.

I've removed big ugly palys from rocks by carefully peeling them up with tweezers and using a plastic shirt collar point to pry them up. GSP should peel off in the same fashion I imagine. I always ran heavy carbon when doing it for the palytoxin released. I also only do a little bit each day because of that.

Julian Sprung has a video everyone should watch before handling play’s! Protection is a must as I’ve heard of people becoming very, very sick from paly toxin! Find the video and watch it.

I don’t know about the GSP, but you can always send me the palys. ;)
