I have those also. Been manually removing them with tweezers, and it just keeps coming back. Tried searching and no answers on how to remove it. Killed it with peroxide on a piece of rock without zoas, but the solution was too strong to dip with zoas on it. So peroxide is out of the question. Any other ideas?

KALK THEM!!! haha

I would try peppermint shrimp. If that doesn't work then kill all water movement and Kalk them. Just be careful around the zoas. They might get burned but they should be ok if you don't get too much on them.

Would try kalk and superglue on rocks, but I got hydroids growing on zoas. My peppermint shrimp only wants to eat what I feed my fish. So, any other ideas?

**Update**

I read from another site to feed less powder coral food to keep white hydroids in check. To test, I took a frag out and manually removed as much hydroids I can from a frag. I than started feeding my fishes frozen only, and stopped feeding coral frenzy. Crossing my fingers, but after a week the frag that I manually removed hydroids from, didn't have that many hydroids regrown. Gonna manually remove hydroids from the other frags soon, and update this thread.
