Research it. Either pull the rock n toss it. Or you can run your mag high for a little while. What ever you do don't pull it. That is how it spawns and will attach to everything in your tank. Then you will be over ran very very quickly to plauge proportions. Dealt with it first hand a few years back. Best of luck

Shite, not what I wanted to hear. My rocks are glued together so sounds like I need to go the mag route, how high?

Believe it specifically needs to be Kent TechM, it's not the mag that does the trick, it's something in the TechM. Never tried it, its what I've read.

Tech M worked wonders for me.

I normally dose b ionic for mag on a doser to keep my level at 1500. From there I used kent tech m to raise it up near 1800 over a week. When I dose I would spot treat the problem area, and turn my flow off for a bit. It'll turn white a melt away after a week or so.

Starry blenny worked for me. :D It still grows in my fuge but I mostly leave it alone so Gertrude will have something to graze in the DT. I tried Tech-M in my old tank but it didn't work and a little bryopsis showed up in the new tank. Haven't seen a speck in the DT since getting the blenny.
