Need help removing polyps due to over populated in tank.
How can I remove it or kill it? It starting to grow on some of my orange cap.

Thank you,
Mike

Razorblade and toothbrush. Obviously use the toothbrush only on areas you want it gone. I would take it out of the tank to do this so as to not release toxins from the scrubbing into your water. Wears gloves and eye/mouth protection too.

Not sure what type of polyps you're talking about.

I've been trying to kill a ton of palythoa (button polyps etc) with little luck using kalk, vinegar and Joes Juice injections. I've heard that Aiptasia X has worked for some. Its my next step.
